Green Mountain Lookout
Green Mountain Lookout, Fire lookout tower in Glacier Peak Wilderness, Snohomish County, US.
The Green Mountain Lookout stands at 6,398 feet elevation, featuring a 14-by-14-foot structure with an exterior catwalk and cable anchor system against winds.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed this National Forest Service standard design tower in 1933 for monitoring forest fires in the North Cascades region.
The structure represents early 20th-century forest management practices and engineering methods used throughout the Pacific Northwest for environmental protection.
Visitors reach the lookout through hiking trails in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, requiring preparation for variable weather conditions and steep terrain.
Congress passed the Green Mountain Lookout Heritage Protection Act in 2014 specifically to prevent the removal of this structure following legal challenges.
