Albert Mountain Fire Tower Trail
The elevation is 5,280 feet and the panoramic views are spectacular on the Albert Mountain Fire Tower Trail. Standing on the rock ledge at the fence, looking straight ahead is Otto, NC, a community south of Franklin, NC. To the north (left), is Franklin, NC and to the south (right) is Georgia. If you stay on the white blazed AT, in about half a mile you will reach Big Springs Shelter. Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic at the shelter area. Remember to Leave No Trace. Pack out what you bring in.
