Located at the summit of Monjeau Peak, this now disused stone building was once a fire lookout and weather station for the National Forest Service. The building was originally constructed in 1936, and was badly damaged in a wildfire in 2012. The building has since been repaired and is now a tourist attraction, allowing visitors to have spectacular views from the 9603 ft (2939 m) summit.
