This sounds like one of those awkward debates between two groups of well-meaning people . . .
Glacier National Park’s plan to stabilize the remote Heaven’s Peak Lookout has sparked a lively debate over appropriate uses in wilderness. But unlike other public debates over the years, this one is, in part, between current and former employees of the Park Service.
The lookout was built in 1945 by conscientious objectors during World War II and one of the last remaining structures built by members of the Civilian Public Service.
For that reason, Glacier officials claim the lookout deserves preservation, whether it’s in wilderness or not.
