Originally a Dominion lookout was established here by the federal government in the 1920s. It was later replaced by the current BCFS cab. Abandoned for many years, it now serves as a warming hut for backcountry users. The site hosts the northernmost population of Vasey's Big Sagebrush and commends excellent views of Kamloops Lake and the Thompson Valley.
