We really had two things we wanted to do before pulling out of Rocky Top - one was to hike to the firetower in Bays Mountain Park, and the other was to actually bike on the mountain bike trails in Warrior Path SP (we've just been running on those trails).
At least we squeezed in the quick hike to the firetower...the day before we left.
We enjoy hiking to the tops of these towers, but this one made me nervous! Maybe it was just an off-day for me? Thin metal rails, minimum hand rails, gaps in the wood steps, lots of open space for me to fall through if I tripped....so why was I shaking?
Beautiful views of the area, though, always make it worth it.
The hike itself was nice, too. Lots of 'shrooms on the trails. I could spend hours in these woods just taking pictures of all of the different kinds. It's like a treasure hunt to see how many different shapes, colors, and sizes I can find!
