This is a pretty cool overlook of an old bomber plane (one of the largest in the world) that crashed down in the Franklin Mountains in 1953. A lot of the pieces of the crash have been placed back as a memorial and historical marker, but the wreckage was first cleaned up after the incident. You can view the crash site from the spot on the trail.
