From Nov. 3-5, the Scout Peak outhouse on the High Peaks trail
at Pinnacles National Monument, will be periodically closed for up
to 20 minute intervals for maintenance and cleaning. Work will be
assisted by helicopter operations, for hauling materials, so the
adjacent area will also close during these intervals.
”
The park will attempt to keep closure time to a minimum to
reduce any inconveniences and asks for everyone’s patience to
insure a safe operation,

said Denise Louie, acting superintendent, in a press
release.

Currently one side of the outhouse is closed for staging materials for the actual work to be performed in November.
Scout Peak outhouse is part of the legacy from when the Civilian Conservation Corps were stationed at the park during the period of 1933 through 1942. Most of the stone buildings and rock work visitors find in the park were built with that program.
