The Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout in Tahoe National Forest blends outdoor adventure with history. Built in 1915 and redesigned in 1963 with its now-famous 180 aluminum steps, the tower rises 8,587 feet above sea level. Visitors can reach it by hiking or jeeping to the base, then climbing the steps for panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada. Retired engineer Rich Eacobacci, who designed the stairs at age 26, still makes the climb at 88, sharing his lifelong connection to the tower with family. For hik
