Warner Mountain Lookout -  Oregon - Website  
Warner Mountain Lookout is the winter wonderland destination for avid winter sports enthusiasts looking for a challenge. The journey can be long, up to ten miles on foot, and risky as the wind and snow whips across the ridge, but the handsome lookout towering above the conifers at the crest of Warner Mountain is a worthy prize for the effort.

History
The 41-foot tower was taken from an old lookout on Grass Mountain, located west of Warner Mountain. That tower was constructed in 1963 and then torn down in 1980. Fire prevention personnel were assigned to move the original tower and to build the lookout in their spare time. Construction began in 1984 and was completed in the fall of 1988. The lookout was first staffed in the summer of 1989, and was offered as a rental in 1992.
