Description
From the lookout site at the top of Bolan Mountain, you can see south along the rugged south ridge to Althouse Mountain and Mount Shasta in the distance. Preston Peak, Tanner Mountain, and the Red Buttes are visible to the east.
The Bolan Mountain Lookout, which burned in the 2020 Slater Fire, was an L-4 square style cabin walled with glass panes. The original lookout was erected in 1917, with the most recent lookout put up in 1953 after the construction of the lookout road. It was possible to rent the lookout. The Forest Service has expressed the possibility that they may rebuild the lookout as a rental.
