On June 1 the Statesman Journal reported that the Bolan Mountain lookout would be rebuilt. OPB also reported on this a few weeks later. The Siskiyou Mountain Club, a fabulous non-profit that does great work for trails in southern Oregon, is partnering with the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest to rebuild the lookout. What great news!
The lookout had just undergone some repairs and refurbishment when it burned in the 2020 Slater Fire. At the time the Forest Service said they hoped to rebuild it, but the future of the lookout was uncertain.
