Description
Timber Mountain may have hosted its original platform lookout station as early as 1912 when the location was withdrawn for Adminstrative Use. An L-4 or Region 5 BC-301 later replaced the platform. The current structure was completed in 1966, a CL-100 plan on a 30 foot, K-Brace steel tower.
