 | Comments: |
Unlike nearby Green Mountain Fire Tower, this Tower still has unimpeded views in all directions, abetted by view profiles on all four sides of the Tower cabin. You pass through beautiful old white pine groves on the way up, and some of them are very big indeed. A great little hike. |
