    Erected in 1931 so rangers could spot forest fires in the Hudson valley. You can climb to the top and see great 360 degree views. The elevation at the top is around 1,765 ft. above sea level.

      The view from the tower is impressive, no question about it. We visited the place on a hike from Beacon to Cold Spring and be careful: the way down towards Cold Spring is much steeper than the ascent and goes over some rocks. In the alpine area it would be an easy via ferrata. Be especially careful with children and use appropriate shoes.
