If you want a great view or just to climb up a lot of stairs, then the Ash cave fire tower is for you! Only 6 people at a time are allowed to climb the tower, but due to the heights, it probably won't be an issue. There is a very slight shake going up the stairs, but it is not that noticeable.

Two or 3 ppl is plenty but others can go up to one or two platforms below the top and just wait your turn. Breathtaking views from up there no matter...
