A summit of 5342 ft above the forest, offering views of the Great Smoky Mountains and some hills in Georgia at the horizon line. At the top you can find an old stone fire lookout, built in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. There was a fire in 2018 that burned some trees around the area and the roof of the tower, that waslater rebuilt.
