Strawberry Peak Lookout

Strawberry Peak Fire Lookout is located off Highway 18 in the San Bernardino Mountains near the communities of Twin Peaks and Rim Forest. From Highway 18 take Bear Springs Road which is just east of the Rim Forest. Follow the signs about two miles to the tower.

The tower is staffed by volunteers and is open between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Visitors are welcome to come up to the top and view the mountains, learn about the San Bernardino National Forest, use the restored Osborne Fire Finder and learn about fire
prevention. The tower season is from Memorial Day to Labor Day but this particular tower is often open a few weeks earlier and stays open for the remaining fire season if volunteers are available. The tower is staffed on weekends and many weekdays and volunteers look for fires in addition to hosting visitors.

The Strawberry Peak Coordinator is Tony Wetmore
