In 1934, McGraw Ridge became home to the first McGraw Lookout, featuring a 10-foot tower with a 14x14 cab. This early lookout was crucial for spotting fires in Hells Canyon, Payette National Forest, and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. In 1964, it was replaced by the current 82-foot tower with an R6 cab, situated half a mile from the original site. Unstaffed since the 1970s, this solitary trail remains an in-and-out adventure. While designated campsites are absent, the surrounding meadows offer ample space for a serene camping experience near the historic lookout tower.
