The Mount Harkness Fire Lookout sits on the summit of Mount Harkness. The lookout has been in operation since its construction in 1930. Seasonal staff stationed at the lookout continue the vigil today and are often available to answer visitor questions and demonstrate fire lookout techniques. At an elevation over 8,000 feet, Mount Harkness provides excellent views of the park and distant mountain ranges.
