The fire tower is such a good place if you want a good vantage point of city. It has got pretty busted up telascope, but it still works. I'd suggest bringing some binoculars of your own because you'll be able to see better. The fire tower also has many different trails to go on. If you start at the top of the lookout, you'll only be able to go down, but starting at the bottom is also quite fun. They got a new Google maps machine for the tower, but it broke in between the time i was gone. Also, the tower does have free wifi, so be scared to show your friends if you have the chance 😀. you dont buy tickets or anything to go up, but to get to the tower, you'll have to go up a pretty good sloped hill, so be careful, the road also has a lot of sharp turns, trees will also block your vision so be cautious. i dont have pictures, but believe me when i tell you I need to see the view in the fall. i hope that you have a good day if you read this...
