Fire Lookout Friday: Buck Mountain

The history of the lookout that was almost lost

Buck Mountain is where this whole journey started. A low-snow January, a map, and a phone call with my dad. But what I didn't know was how much history was packed into that one small DNR tower above Loup Loup Pass. Or how close it came to being lost forever.

Fire Lookout Friday is a weekly podcast and newsletter about Washington's historic fire lookouts—their stories, their history, and the ridiculous things that happen when you decide to visit all of them. And then staff one.
