Hiking

This survey marker was built in 1905, to assist surveyors using a triangulation system. Unlike other common surveyor marks, this is not a summit marker (as this is not the mountain's summit). It was built here because of the location's easy visibility from many other locations below, thus making triangulation easier from multiple other points. This marker was the first if it's kind built in the country.
