It was first climbed in 1926 by Lage Wernstedt, who named it for the destruction caused by a forest fire that swept the slopes bare that same year.[3] At the summit stands a small, wooden, one room fire lookout belonging to the National Park Service. The lookout is {{convert|15|mi}} from the nearest road and overlooks miles of forest and numerous other peaks. Jack Kerouac spent 63 days during the summer of 1956 as a fire lookout on Desolation Peak. He wrote about his experiences in The Dharma Bums, Lonesome Traveler and Desolation Angels. Desolation Peak Trail,[4] is a steep hike to high meadows, great views and the fire lookout. It is a very popular hike but strenuous along the East Bank Trail. The trail is often hot and dry. {{clear left}}References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger|1688|Desolation Peak, Washington|accessdate=2010-12-30}} 2. ^{{cite gnis|id=1518686|name=Desolation Peak|accessdate=2010-03-06}} 3. ^{{Cite book| last = Majors | first = Harry M. | title = Exploring Washington | publisher = Van Winkle Publishing Co | year = 1975 | page = 31 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CoWrPQAACAAJ| isbn = 978-0-918664-00-6}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Desolation Peak Trail |publisher=National Park Service |url=http://www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/desolation-peak-trail.htm |accessdate=2010-12-30}} External links
