Heaven's Peak Fire Lookout, located in Glacier National Park in Flathead County, Montana, is a historic fire lookout tower built in 1945. Constructed of timber with a flat roof in the National Park Service rustic style, the structure features a distinctive design in which the overhanging roof is anchored to a stone foundation with cables. Originally planned as a Public Works Administration project under local contractor Ole Norden in 1940, construction was delayed and ultimately completed five years later under a separate contract. The lookout remains significant as part of a network of staffed fire observation posts within the park and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
