Shadow Mountain Lookout is the only remaining fire detection tower in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was staffed in 2012 for the first time since the 1969 season after having been rehabilitated in 1982 and again in 1994-96. This building represents the type of rustic design advocated by Park Service administrators and designers.
