The fall colors could be at peak for this hike to the former fire tower, now refurbished as an observation platform, up on the Buffalo Mountain ridgeline. The 360 degree view includes Clinch, Green, Roan, Buffalo, and other mountain ranges ablaze with color from the hardwoods. Leave Colonial Heights at 1:00PM. Alternatively, can meet in Johnson City by 1:20PM or at the trailhead (I-26 Exit 32 Unicoi) at 1:30PM. Expected return to Colonial Heights is roughly 6:30PM. | |||
