Descriptions of 28 trails to especially fine destinations in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks, all with fire towers.

  • Authors: John P. Freeman with Wesley H. Haynes
  • Softcover; 155 pages; black-and-white photographs and maps
  • Adirondack Mountain Club Inc., copyright 2001
  • Author notes status of each fire tower, including those on borrowed time; includes rich history on each of these structures
  • Each description includes a page map and provides details that help you follow the trail and add to your knowledge of the mountain or terrain
  • Offers inspiration to outdoor enthusiasts, families, historians, naturalists, the curious, the eager and the brave to take lots of these hikes

Once the lone outposts of fire observers, these structures are fast disappearing from the forest landscape, their fire-spotting function replaced by surveillance flights and other cost-effective means of fire detection. BUT, you can't beat arriving at a summit on a crystal clear day--unless you've arrived on one with an open fire tower atop it!

Made in USA.
