September 13, 1911: "A fire lookout station will be maintained on Cheyenne mountain by the government forestry department this fall, according to information received here yesterday from Denver. It will overlook the eastern slope of the Front range.
The 'lookout' will be one of three to be placed in the Rocky mountains this fall by the government. The number of men to be employed, while not officially announced, will be sufficient to forestall possibilities of forest fires that have ravaged the eastern slope of the mountains in years past."
