Pine Ranger Station

Type: 52′ tower with 7×7′ cab
Status: Emergency use
Elevation: 2,600 feet
Visited: August 16, 2013

During my recent trip to the Wallowa Mountains I visited two fire lookouts. One of them was the tower at the Pine Ranger Station near the town of Halfway. This tower is unusual in that it sits in a valley instead of on a mountain. Apparently it’s used in emergencies.
