Big Walker Lookout

This imposing tower rises 100 feet from the ground, accessible by a mountain road that requires a car with a lot of power. The elevation of the tower is well over 3,000 feet allowing a visitor to see the mountains in five different states. If you're willing to make the climb of almost 20 flights of stairs, you'll be treated to a 360-degree view of the distance. For those who don't want to ascend, visit the cute country store for some of the best ice cream in the region.
