The Green Mountain Lookout is located in the western portion of the 573,000-acre Glacier Peak Wilderness near Darrington, Wash. It was built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and is one of a few lookouts still used by the US Forest Service as an administrative site. The lookout building is locked and unavailable for public use.
