Stewardship

Our Lookout and Trail Maintenance Crew maintains the historic lookouts on Mt. Pilchuck, Three Fingers, and Heybrook Ridge.

Keeping these structures open to the public so thousands of annual visitors may see, touch, and experience a piece of history is no easy task. Averaging 20 work parties each season, our volunteers repair and renovate fire lookouts to their original specifications dating to the 1930s and 1940s.
