At 2,362 metres, the summit of Joss Mountain is topped by a historic fire lookout originally built in 1921 to help protect timber within the Railway Belt from wildfires. The small square shelter, with windows facing in every direction, still stands near the summit and was restored in the early 2000s after years of abandonment. From the lookout, views stretch across the Monashee Mountains, Blanket Glacier, alpine lakes and surrounding wilderness, making it one of the most expansive viewpoints in the region.
