Overview

Monument Peak Lookout offers guests an impressive yet rustic room with a view. The lookout, built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, is perched atop Monument Peak, boasting spectacular 360 degree views of the Little Belt Mountains.

A vault toilet is about 100 feet from the structure. No water, electricity or plumbing is available.
