| The lookout was constructed in 1970 and is not normally staffed now. The building is looked after by volunteers. This summit is on the Lower Peaks List. This lookout is on the National Historic Lookout Register #1045. Photos taken June 14, 2006. Craig R. Carey has photos of a visit to the lookout in March, 2011 at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/umotamba/sets/72157625780858654/
The peak was named due to a winter earthquake that caused saturated ground to slide down and create an earthen dam almost 100 feet high (about 1900). After the barrier forming Slide Lake gave way a residual pond remained for many years. The name first appeared on the USGS Redlands quad of 1901. |
