The Chews Ridge Lookout is located at the northern end of the Santa Lucia Range of the Los Padres National Forest, about southeast of Monterey, California and approximately west of Highway 101. The current tower was built in 1929 and staffed until around 1990. A volunteer organization began recruiting individuals to staff the tower in 2019. The ridge and tower were named for homesteaders Constantine and Nellie Chew, who patented on the ridge in the late 19th century. Read more on Wikipedia
