    The Watchtower is a lookout perched on the cliff's edge, with breathtaking views over the Jamison Valley, Mount Solitary, and Orphan Rock. Unlike the nearby viewpoints that focus on individual landmarks, this lookout offers a wide panorama of the valley and surrounding cliffs that’s awe-inspiring, and worth snapping a few photos while you’re here.
