Also known as 'Jumpoff Joe' Lookout. The first structure developed about 1923 with a D-6 cupola cabin. In 1961, the current R-6 flat top ground cabin replaced it. The lookout has been used sporadically since the 1960s on an emergency basis. 

Mike Hiler and “Friends of Jumpoff” began that summer to stabilize the lookout. Since then, the roof covering was repaired and is now water tight, shutters were repaired and replaced and the cabin was cleaned and efforts are made to keep the structure tidy and hospitable.

Over the next several years, the shutters got back on with plexiglass openings so visitors won’t pull them off to see inside. The water damaged floor was repaired, cabinets were repaired.

Mike Hiler helped drive this and he was the lookout on Jumpoff during 1969 to 1973.
