About Eureka Lookout
The Eureka lookout sits at an elevation of 6,500 ft. A horse trail was built to the site in 1930 and the road was completed in 1953. The building was constructed in 1957 in order to aid wildfire operations in the area. Firefighters would often reside in these lookouts for weeks at a time and report any new fires that they could see. Eureka can be accessed only by hiking, off road vehicles and snowmobile. Don't forget to sign the guestbook if you pay it a visit. This is a user maintained site so please pack out what you pack in and help keep the lookout in good shape for others to enjoy.
