Since 1935, the highpoint of Alabama has been crowned with a tall monument affording a vast view of the region. The exceptionally constructed building was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the 10 by 10 foot cab on top was used for fire observation, known as Bunker Tower. The summit is inside Cheaha State Park with camping at the summit area. There are also picnic areas, a playground, and several nature trails.
