The actual high point is along a short distance marked footpath south of this sign. The high point is about 5 feet higher than the highway. The high point is located on land owned by Brown University however until recent years was not accessible because the landowner of the property between the highway and the high point would not allow access. With a change of landowners a trail has been opened which allows access 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The high point itself is located at a rock outcropping on the north side of a clearing used by Brown University as a observatory.
