Description

Built by the CCC in 1938, Blue Ridge Lookout lies near the Continental Divide in the Wind River Range. The lookout is unique in that it is an open rock structure with fire finder, flag, and stone wall reached by a long flight of stone stairs. The groundhouse, also built by the CCC, is the Louis Lake Guard Station.
