While staying at the Fall Mountain Lookout over the 4th of July weekend we visited several lookouts in the area, the first being Frazier Point. We drove 8.6 miles down Road 1630, then turned left. It was shocking to see a sign at the junction considering the lookout is no longer used:<\/p>\n

However the Malheur National Forest has plans to remove this tower. Here’s the inspection tag:<\/p>\n

There was at one time a lookout post on a rock point just south of Frazier Point. There was a geocache there so we made our way over after visiting the tower. We saw zero sign of a road or trail leading up there:<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Road 1630 turn east onto Road 849 and follow this good gravel road (no gate) for one mile to its end where the tower is located.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 1930s a lookout was established on a rocky point south of the present site. In 1936 a 100′ tower was constructed north of there:<\/p>\n

That tower still stands today although is no longer used and has been condemned by the Forest Service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
