Snow Peak (Oregon)

Snow Peak (also called Cleveland Rock[5]) is a summit of the Oregon Cascades in the Willamette National Forest.

A fire lookout was present on Snow Peak from August 1912—when a telephone line was installed.

On the last day of a quiet fire season, September 16, 1948, the lookout itself caught on fire when the departing observer cleaned up and put last of the trash in the stove as he left.

The Columbus Day Storm of October 1962 damaged the lookout, which was replaced by a new 14 by 14 feet (4.3 m × 4.3 m) structure that cost $3500 in 1965 (equivalent $33,800 today.[6]).

The structure lasted until April 1980 when the remains of the station were dismantled after persistent neglect and vandalism.
