The Hickory Ridge Lookout Tower was constructed in 1936 in order to aid the National Park Service in spotting forest fires. The tower was manned for almost 40 years, until modern technologies superseded the need for human lookouts. The tower still stands as an observation point, and anyone who wants to scale the 133 steel steps will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.
