Warren Peak Fire Lookout

About Warren Peak Fire Lookout

The original Warren Peak Fire Lookout was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938. This tower was ten feet tall with a live-in cab. In 1959, construction began on the Sundance Air Force Station, the world’s first nuclear-powered radar station, located on Warren Peak. The original Warren Peak fire lookout was demolished during the construction. In 1960, a new Warren Peak fire lookout was moved to a peak east of the original lookout. It was constructed with a 54 foot steel tower and cab.
