At the summit, an old fire tower offers excellent views of both Vermont and New Hampshire. On a clear day, the view extends as far east as Maine and as far north as Quebec. The Monadnock Mountain Trail ascends the eastern slope of the mountain. The trailhead is adjacent to Vermont Route 102, 7.7 miles (12.4 km) south of Canaan and 13 miles (21 km) north of Bloomfield.
