The forest on and around Kuwohi has experienced a large die-off of Fraser fir caused by non-native insect balsam woolly adelgid.

Observation tower

Built in 1959, the observation tower features a circular observation platform accessed by a spiral ramp. The ramp is 375 ft in length, and rises at a 12 percent grade, in sync with the Clingmans Dome Trail. The platform, 28 ft in diameter, allows spectators a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding terrain.
