This is the famous High Rock observation tower near Pen Mar Park. This was an extremely popular attraction while Pen Mar Park was open. Even today with the tower gone it is still a popular stop. All that is left today is the rock it sat on and some of the concrete foundation on top of the rock. Many are unaware that this structure stood there for years. The view is amazing across the valley and for a time recently, hang gliders would launch from near this spot. During the heyday of Pen Mar prior to air conditioning, this spot offered a beautiful view and a break from the hot summer weather. This view probably dates to between 1900 and 1920.
