A stand of trees flanks the building on the left and provides a backdrop for the trapezoidal sign extending from a stone base. The sign reads Fairfield Ranger District in brown text on a gold background on the top third and Sawtooth National Forest in gold text on a brown background on the bottom two-thirds. A flagpole appears in a grassy area between the sign and the building entrance.
