Bear Mountain, Fowler Peak Lookout, Calaveras County, California

This is the second newest CDF (now CalFire) lookout with the newest cab built in 1987 to 88. The 41 foot high steel tower has a 14 foot square cab with similar size bedroom/bathroom underneath. At $70,000 it was the most expensive lookout built by the CDF. It was named in honor of State Forester O.E. "Chick" Fowler. There should be a benchmark on a boulder 24 feet northwest of the tower.
