Elmore Mountain Fire Tower


We managed to slip in before the crowds on an overcast morning to ascend the rather steep 1.75-mile Fire Tower Trail. Aslan managed to dislocate himself from his family prior to reaching the top.
Fortunately, he was “baying for help” and after several (seemingly forever) minutes of calling his name, he rejoined us. I climbed up the tower and captured this view.
Our descent was uneventful with the exception of meeting an interesting hiker on the way down. Mountainsides seem to bring out the philosophical sides of humans. 🙂
