Description

Originally erected on Sawyer Ridge in Idaho’s Nez Perce National Forest in 1949, this 41’ timber tower with a 14’ x 14’ L-4 hip roof cab and catwalk was declared surplus to Forest Service needs in 1987. It was purchased by Bruce & Nancy Dreher (Bruce is retired from the Forest Service) and reconstructed next to their home overlooking the Slate Creek Ranger Station. Faithfully restored and renamed the “Eyeful Tower,” tours are available by pre-arrangement.
