    Mt. Adams for sure, intimately nestled among the giants...but I liked the climb better before it became a marked and maintained trail.

      That was my guess also.
      ...Looks like the same type of day when I was there...

      My favorite fire tower does not exists anymore...Pharaoh Mtn.
      ...Many fun memories of when my dad took me up there when I was little.

          I've only been to three so I don't have much of a reference.

          Of the three... it would be Wakely.

                I'd go with Adams as well.

                Ampersand is probably my favorite former firetower mountain.

                  Nice short family hike, 1/2 mile up and back.

                  Interesting climb that offers nice hills and ridge walk at the top.

                    I'll see if I can dig any up - my dad or some of his friends may have one.

                            My favorite is Goodnow. I will put Wakely and Adams on the list for this summer.
                            "Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
                            Seeking grace in every step he takes
                            His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
                            The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake" -John Denver

                              ....Azure.

                              'Cause its located so close to the peak's precipitous south side.

                                Kane is my favorite by far, I live near by and have done it 30-40 times. Snowy is a close second.
