What's your favorite fire tower?
Self explanatory.
And a good first thread for the new subforum. Last edited by DSettahr; 05-06-2010 at 03:56 PM.. |

I was going to make a poll, but the maximum poll options is a measly 10. Not enough to list every tower. Can we increase that limit to at least 30? Preferably 40 or 50?
My favorite is St. Regis. |

Goodnow.
the view from this tower is perhaps for best for a complete view of the entire High Peaks mountain range. Wider view than Hurricane. Taken this winter: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4425/goodnowmt6558.jpg |

Vanderwacker. Fond memories of driving the access road in a Honda Civic and having to back up about 300 yards for a logging truck.

More firetower pictures please. I freeze up halfway up them and never reach the top.
I know its irrational but my husband takes the camera up. |

I've been to all the towers on the ADK Fire Tower Challenge list and I'd have to say my favorite is always the one I'm in at the moment. If I had to pick I'd probably say St. Regis.

OK, I know this is off topic
but my least favorite hike on the fire tower challenge so far is Spruce Mt. (tower inaccessible).Back on topic: most favorite so far is Mt. Adams WITH the tower. The tower is inaccessible at the moment, until DEC/Adkhighpeaks Foundation work on the tower. No views without it. Dick |

I've only been up two...Mt Arab a couple of times, which is nice, and Balsam Lake Mt in the Cats, which is also nice, but a thunderstorm was coming in while we were in the tower and we didn't linger long.

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

I've only been to three so I don't have much of a reference.
Of the three... it would be Wakely.
