In the 1920s and 1930s, forestry organizations in Western North Carolina constructed numerous lookout structures as a vital component of a firefighting system. Many of these lookout towers remain in North Carolina today, serving as exceptional hiking destinations for enthusiasts seeking to marvel at the breathtaking vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This book blends elements of a hiking guide and a photography collection, offering captivating stories about the history and folklore of the lookouts and their fire lookout inhabitants.
