    Hiking

    Strategically placed at the highest point in the Johnstown area, the tower offered a commanding view stretching over twenty miles. Its primary purpose was to detect and report forest fires, playing a crucial role in protecting the local ecosystem. While the tower no longer serves its original function, it remains a testament to the region's history and the importance of forest conservation. Today, it stands as a reminder of the dedication and hard work of those who protected the area's natural resources.
