It has been converted over to an emergency communications tower for the DEC Forest Service. I was disappointed, as I had hoped to climb it to enjoy the great views to the south.

As the snowmobile trail climbs the mountain, it narrows and grows progressively steeper. It's not a bad trail for snowshoers, as the snowmobiles must proceed slowly up such a steep mountain.
