A hiking guide and photography book on North Carolina's lookout
towers. In the 1920s and 1930s, forestry organizations built dozens
of lookout structures in Western North Carolina as the backbone of
a firefighting system. Many of these lookouts survive in North
Carolina today- they represent some of the best destinations for
hikers who want to see the incredible vistas of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Part hiking guide and part photography collection, this
book contains wonderful stories about the history and folklore of
the lookouts and their fire lookout inhabitants, a detailed guide
of hikes to each, and details about the views at the top-all
provided by a local, long-term land preservationist and lookout
fanatic, Peter J. Barr. Barr's text is augmented by the amazing
full-color photographs of well-known nature photographer Kevin
Adams (North Carolina Waterfalls).
