Description
Pelican Cone is a 14x14 ground cabin erected in 1937 by the CCC but finished by the park carpenter “in order to finish it up in good order.”
The lookout served either primary or secondary detection duty depending on the source.
Staffed from 1937 to 1974 and again from 1984 to 1988 and in 1993. Currently maintained as a fire lookout and periodically used to monitor fires in the Park.
Building #724, Yellowstone National Park, Park County, Wyoming.
