BALANCING ROCK (SHIN) LOOKOUT
Built about 1933, this L-6 cab on a log crib has been abandoned since the 1940's, and is believed to be the only L-6 existing in Idaho. Little is known about its history; typically L-6's were built at patrol points for primary lookouts, however, no other lookouts have existed nearby. Restoration work occurred during 2013 and 2014.
