    Tips

    At the midway point of the hike, enjoy 360 views of the surrounding Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests. The sheltered fire tower is directly off the side of the trail and is accessible year-round. Be courteous of other visitors, as there is a forest road providing alternate access to the viewing area.
