The Huckleberry Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of manned fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a pyramidal roof was built in 1933, replacing a similar structure built in 1923.[2] It is one of several similar structures built to a modified version of a plan developed by the U.S. Forest Service.[3]
