Cedro Peak Fire Lookout
This program focuses on the history of Cedro Fire Lookout, Beacon Towers and Plane Crashes. The location of the first Cedro Lookout was not much more than a stop along an early smoke chaser’s patrol route and considered by many to be primitive by today’s standards.
The location was a platform lookout where the fire lookout hung out for part of the day before continuing on his route. The patrolman would spend the night in a canvas tent or stop and fix his lunch as part of the day’s routine. Many of the early lookouts assigned to the peak rode horse-back from the Sandia Ranger Station and back each day.
