The Hillsboro Peak Lookout Tower and Cabin, in Gila National Forest in Sierra County, New Mexico, is a forest fire lookout tower and cabin with one or both built in 1925. The combination was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

Hillsboro Peak has elevation 10,020 feet (3,050 m), and is in southwestern New Mexico's Black Range.[2]

The lookout tower, in a 2007 photo, appears to be different than the 1920s tower.[2]

The log cabin is reportedly available for public use overnight.[2]
