Constructed in 1963,[1] the tower was built by Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF, Frank H. Wadsworth.[2] The tower is one of the two observation towers located in the park and sits at an elevation of 1,575 feet (480 m).[1]
The other tower in the El Yunque is the Mount Britton Tower. It is located at a higher elevation and usually has cloud cover that interferes with the views.[1] Yokahu is widely considered the better of the two with regard to the view offered. When it comes to convenience, Yokahú Tower again has an advantage over the Mount Britton Tower. Yokahú Tower has a parking lot nearby whereas the Mount Britton is in the middle of the forest.[3]
