Topographical Map
Fairview Peak lookout has the distinction of having been the highest elevation lookout(by far) in the US, as well as the only lookout in Gunnison NF. One of the earliest lookouts in CO(along with Leon Peak lookout), the site was staffed only one year and abandoned due to severe lightning. The unique stone structure still stands today, having survived brutal high altitude weather for nearly a century.
