Description

One of only two lookouts remaining on the Angeles National Forest out of a network that once numbered 19, Vetter Mountain Lookout is a very popular visitor site, day and night. The 14’ x 14’ C3 ground house is equipped with steel shutters as protection against vandals.

Vetter Lookout was lost in the Station Fire, September 1, 2009. The Forest Service and ANFFLA are proceeding with plans to rebuild it

Vetter Mountain Lookout, through a partnership with Southern California Edison, began reconstruction on September 18, 2019 - 10 years after the loss of the original structure.
