This high point offers a nice view of the historic town of Alpine Station. In the late 1800s, it was the highest railroad station in the United States, serving trains emerging from the west portal of the historic narrow‑gauge Alpine Tunnel. Around the station stood a turntable, water tank, stone boarding house, and an engine house large enough to shelter multiple locomotives, supporting operations in this remote, high‑mountain environment. Today, you can still see the restored station and telegraph office alongside ruins of the old engine house, which together form part of a protected historic district accessible by trail.
