Description
Completed in 1936, Red Mountain Lookout is also the oldest lookout on the San Jacinto Ranger District. The cabin is a 1934 standard 14’ x 14’ California Region 5 Plan BC-301 series wooden cab with catwalk atop a 20 foot steel H-brace tower with steel I-beam corner posts.
Now rehabilitated, it returned to service with volunteer Lookout Hosts in October 1998.
