House Creek

## Overview

The Jersey Jim Lookout Tower is named after an early cattleman who ran Jersey
cattle in the area. Today, cattle are still grazed in the area under permit.
Many nearby trails were established by loggers seeking timber or by miners
accessing hard-rock ore deposits in the La Plata (Spanish for silver)
Mountains. Hesperus Peak, a sacred mountain to the Navajo Nation, is visible,
as is Sleeping Ute Mountain of the Four Corners. The Jersey Jim Lookout Tower
was home to U.S. Forest Service fire lookouts from the 1940s to 1970s.

The tower was renovated and saved from demolition in 1991 by the Jersey Jim
Foundation, a nonprofit local volunteer organization, which operates and
maintains the tower under permit with the San Juan National Forest. Rental
income is earmarked for maintenance of the facility to offer this unique
experience to the American public.

The Tower cab includes the original furniture and propane heating and
lighting. However, there is no electricity or running water. A sink, propane
refrigerator, and oven/stove are in the kitchen area. Guests must bring their
own supplies. The dining table seats four, and there’s a double bed, and
dresser. With windows all round, views are 360 degrees.

In the middle of the cab is the historic fire finder, which early lookouts
used to spot fires, and which you can use to orient yourself to surrounding
landmarks. In the cabinet below are materials offering information about the
tower and the area.

Jersey Jim Fire Tower

Live a little bit of history and enjoy an incredible view in Southwestern
Colorado with an one- or two-night stay at the Jersey Jim Fire Lookout Tower.
Formerly used to detect fires, the live-in tower rises from an aspen-lined
meadow in the San Juan National Forest at almost 10,000 feet above sea level.

**History:  **The Jersey Jim Lookout Tower is named after an early cattleman
who ran Jersey cattle in the area. Today, cattle are still grazed in the area
under permit. Many nearby trails were established by loggers seeking timber or
by miners accessing hard-rock ore deposits in the La Plata (Spanish for
silver) Mountains. Hesperus Peak, a sacred mountain to the Navajo Nation, is
visible, as is Sleeping Ute Mountain of the Four Corners. The Jersey Jim
Lookout Tower was home to U.S. Forest Service fire lookouts from the 1940s to
1970s. Historic log books chronicle their experiences. Check out the: 1938
Lookout Cookbook

The tower was renovated and saved from demolition in 1991 by the Jersey Jim
Foundation, a nonprofit local volunteer organization, which operates and
maintains the tower under permit with the San Juan National Forest. Rental
income is earmarked for maintenance of the facility to offer this unique
experience to the American public.

**What to Expect:  **The Tower cab includes the original furniture and propane
heating and lighting. However, there is no electricity or running water. A
sink, propane refrigerator, and oven/stove are in the kitchen area. Guests
must bring their own supplies. The dining table seats four, and there's a
double bed, and dresser. With windows all round, views are 360 degrees.

In the middle of the cab is the historic fire finder, which early lookouts
used to spot fires, and which you can use to orient yourself to surrounding
landmarks. In the cabinet below are materials offering information about the
tower and the area.

  
**Nearby attractions** : Popular trails on the San Juan National Forest, which
are accessible from Forest Road #561, include the Sharkstooth, Gold Run,
Transfer, West Mancos Canyon, Box Canyon, Chicken Creek, and Aspen Loop
trails. As you drive up, you will be following the western slope of the La
Plata Mountains. At the Transfer Campground, you may want to make a stop at
the West Mancos Canyon Overlook to take in the view or walk the nearby Big Al
Trail, which leads to a deck overlooking the same canyon.
