TIPTOP MOUNTAIN LOOKOUT
First used with a 1930's 15' pole L-4 tower, a 40' steel tower with live-in cab, built in 1959 & 1960, had been abandoned for a number of years and vandalized. The steel tower superstructure came from Johnson Ridge Lookout. A private party obtained and removed the tower in 2016, and relocated it to Long Ridge on private property in Wallowa County.
