Description
Hyde Mountain Lookout on the Prescott National Forest is in semi-active status. The L-5 groundhouse was constructed in 1936. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. No longer in service, there is no road access to it, so visitors have to hike a good hour to the tower.
