Up on top of Olallie Butte - One of the first things we saw - a BIG firepit and remnants of the old lookout
The old collapsed lookout on the north end of the butte
The built the lookout on a pile of cinder rocks and then mortared just the top few courses. The lookout was built on top of this pile
Looking north from the old lookout position - you can see remnants of the lookout below
