Established in 1941: L-4 cab moved from Galena Mtn. In 1942 an AWS cabin was erected and in 1953: L-4 cabin was built 200 feet to the south of the lookout on a stable shelf closer to the peak. However, the structures (other than the cabin on the ridge) was destroyed in 1969.

Currently, there are two concrete foundation anchors on the tip of the lookout and a Washington Hwy Dept Disk survey marker embedded into the rock shelf 10 feet from the site anchor location.
