Olson Observation Tower
Wooden observation tower with panoramic views over rolling ridges of Monongahela National Forest — excellent for wide landscape vistas, layered fog in mornings, and vivid fall color.

No entry fee, short climb up the tower; expect variable cell signal and bring insect repellent. Weekdays and shoulder‑季
