Heaven's Peak Fire Lookout
Heaven's Peak Fire Lookout, Fire lookout tower in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.
The timber structure stands at 6,810 feet elevation with a flat roof secured to stone foundations by cables in Glacier National Park.
Members of historic peace churches, including Mennonites, Amish, and Quakers, constructed the fire lookout in 1945 as part of the Civilian Public Service.
The lookout represents the systematic approach to forest management developed by the National Park Service during the mid-twentieth century in American national parks.
The structure requires advanced hiking skills to access and remains visible from specific points along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park.
The stabilization project in 2011 received support from descendants of original crew members who shared stories about warding off bears during construction.
