Comments
Comments: The fire tower got a sturdy new set of steps a couple of years ago but they're narrower and there is no longer a bench on the highest open platform. There might still be a 360-degree view from the cabin but that appears to be permanently closed to the public. Views to the north are all grown in on the highest open platform but there are still good ones to the west and south.

The shady Dearborn Trail is a good hot day option - much nicer than the High Watch/Green Mountain Trail from the north.
