Warner Ridge is a thoroughly modern lookout with all the amenities. An effort to salvage the Grass Mountain tower intact was unsuccessful, so the former Rigdon District took what they had and re-built a facsimile. The result, while not truly authentic, is a charming and comfortable hybrid. It is an interesting working lookout with several structures and installations with good views of the southern end of the Forest.
