Black Elk Peak Lookout Tower

Black Elk Wilderness, SD

A stone fire lookout constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps crowns the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. The abandoned lookout is reached only by hiking and feels like a small mountain fortress above the surrounding granite spires.
