Certainly one of the lowest elevation stations in the Washington Cascades,
Heybrook offers stunning views of Mt. Index and Mt. Baring. It was developed in 1925 with a platform tower, replaced by a 45' tower with L-4 cab in 1932. In 1964, the present 67' treated timber tower was built with an R-6 flat cab. Promptly abandoned in 1970, volunteers worked on constructing a new cab during the late 1990's. The cab is not open to the public, but the viewing platform just below it is. The lookout may be added to the Recreation Rental program in the future.
