Lookout Details
Description
The first lookout on Leecher Mountain was a 1920 tree top crow's nest which is still there. In 1921 a Sears windmill tower with 6'x6' cab was constructed, and a ground house living quarters added in 1922. In 1941 a live-in L-4 on an 11' timber tower was built and the windmill tower moved to the Twisp Smokejumper Base for use as a training loft. The present L-4 on a 41' tower was moved there from Chiliwist in 1954. The lookout has been recently renovated.
