The summit is a bit of a disappointment with all the cell tower equipment.
The one interesting thing up there was the old monument that was dedicated to the "Russian" residents of the north coast. Apparently, it was originally nearer the coast but was re-located to that summit for some reason. Then, when the cell tower work was underway, that monument marker was again relocated but I'm not certain if they returned it to the summit. I think that someone told me that they had but I've not been up there for years.
The marker, similar to a headstone of a cemetery, was dated roughly about 1920. So its nearly a 100 years old.
