Boucher Hill Fire Tower, Palomar Mountain State Park, California
View Original Description
The Boucher Hill Fire Lookout is a fully functioning fire tower located within Palomar Mountain State Park at an elevation of 5,438 feet in northern San Diego County atop Boucher Hill Summit. The Boucher Hill summit, which is just over a mile above sea level, has been listed in the Sierra Club's "Hundred Peak Section" since it was first published in 1946.
There is an observation deck, which is wheelchair accessible. To the southwest, over 4,500 feet below you, lies the verdant Pauma Valley. Equally stunning sights greet you to the north, west, and southeast: Santiago Peak to the northwest, Cuyamaca Peak to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean, including the Coronado Islands.
