A nicer, and more panoramic, view than that from Mt. Lemmon Lookout. And less burnt, these days.

The awning supports being slightly angled instead of vertical gives the lookout a distinctive appearance.

I also enjoyed your recent comet photo.

Cheers!

Here in Maine, old school fire wardens had cabins near their towers and some serious "warden trails" to get to them.
