<BR>The Great Smoky Mountains National Park also has a Chimney Tops Trail (note plural) that is well known in the region. [http://www.gsmnp.com/pages/chimney_tops.html link] | |||
<p>The property owner stated that rattlesnakes are common in the summer, which would have many rocks on the upper section to hide between. Colder weather may be a better time to enjoy this high. Mid-April just has some wildflowers beginning to bloom. | |||
Edit: My great Grandfather, Nelse Roberts, who the road (Nelse Roberts rd) is named after, lived on fire tower road and hiked the road every day to the fire tower. He was the old watchman who would report fires to the Fire Department from the tower. The road used to be in good shape, they would drive pickup trucks up there and camp out while fox hunting. Just a little unique history about this amazing site. The nearby Wolf Gap provides a similar, but easier hike from Pyburn Ln to Beech Creek, with permission from Mr. Thomas Stewart. | |||
