Ute Mountain Fire Tower is a historic fire lookout in the Ashley National Forest in western Daggett County, Utah, southwest of Manila. Built in 1937, it represents the period when staffed lookout towers were vital to detecting forest fires in the American West. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1980, recognized that significance. Restoration completed in 2013–2014 helped preserve the tower as an important part of the region’s forest management and conservation history.
