This is all that remains of the Black Butte lookout. The original lookout and trail were built by the CCC's in the late 1930's. It was destroyed in the Columbus Day storm of 1962 and was rebuilt in 1963. It was manned until 1973 when the building was removed by helicopter. Photo by Richard Carey on July 21, 2006.
