Berchtesgaden (Wildhorse lookout)

Wildhorse Fire Lookout on the summit of Wildhorse peak in the White knob mountains was built as one of the "New deal" projects by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. It was manned until 1945.
Access to the lookout requires a 3 mile from Copper basin, a hike we made several times in 2009 while building up a stockpile of food and gear with the intention of using the building as a backcountry ski hut.
