Views From on High: Fire Tower Trails in the Adirondacks and Catskills

You can't beat arriving on a summit with a great view--unless you've arrived on one with an open fire tower. Once the outposts of solitary fire observers, many of these structures have disappeared from the forest landscape, their fire-spotting function replaced by surveillance flights and other cost-effective means of fire detection.

This guide features detailed trail descriptions, maps, and colorful photos. This book will go perfect with you Adirondack Life Fire Tower t-shirt!
