I didn't realize you could go up in the fire tower....
Do you remember how long of a hike from parking lot to the fire tower was? I would like to get some pics too.

Depending on your pace, the hike to the tower from the parking lot will probably take 40-50 minutes. I've made it in 35 min. before but I tend to walk much faster than most. FWIW, on a really clear day up there you can see peaks in 4 states (TN, NC, VA & WV).
Glad you made it up to the tower on such a gorgeous day, JoshB! Thanks for the pics, looks like there's some very nice color there right now. |
