| Duckwall Mountain Lookout is in good condition and may be staffed during periods of fire hazard. This tower was built by the CCC in 1935 and is an Aeromotor design. It has a seven foot square cab atop a hundred foot tower. This is similar to Woods Ridge and is one of the tallest lookouts in California. This lookout is now on the National Historic Lookout Register #1190. Photo by Richard Carey September 17, 2011 | ||||||||
