Red Mountain Lookout

The only fire lookout still standing in Skamania County, it sits atop Red Mountain at an elevation of 4965 feet (1513 meters) above sea level. The U.S. Forest Service says the original lookout was built in 1910, and it's been replaced twice. In 2010, a team of volunteers replaced interior walls and flooring, added roof coating, repaired the catwalk, and painted.
