The Capilla Peak Lookout is a historic fire-lookout on the top of Capilla Peak. First constructed in 1921, the spot for this lookout was chosen because although Capilla Peak is not the tallest in the area, it stands out from the main ridge, and provides great views of the entire range. Unfortunately, there have been many wildfires here over the years, so the tower has quite a bit of use gotten use in the last 100 years.
