Black Mountain Lookout perches high in the Cabinet Mountains providing a spectacular view of the Kootenai Valley and the surrounding mountains.
The tower was originally assembled on Faset Peak as a “kit” and later disassembled and moved to Black Mountain. Over time, communication towers and electronic equipment surrounded the tower.
The Forest Service again disassembled and reassembled the tower on a site approximately one-half mile down the road from the communications equipment. The tower is complete, offers incredible views, and is awaiting inclusion in the Forest Service recreation rental program.
Project work will include building and installing a pit-type toilet. It will imitate the historic outhouse. Additional site clean-up will be included.
