Castro Peak, Lookout site, Los Angeles County, California, Elevation = 2824 ft.

In the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area

Castro Peak Lookout was built in the Malibu Hills west of Los Angeles in 1925. The structure went out of service in 1971 and was moved to Henninger Flats in 1978. The peak itself is fenced off with security cameras and "No Trespassing" signs so cannot be visited at this time. See reports on Peakbagger about Castro Peak. This photo is the lookout as it is now at Henninger Flats. Photo by John Robinson about 1991. The structure was recently placed on the National Historic Lookout Register #1289.
