Join Ranger Fields on this moderate to challenging hike to the old fire tower on top of the mountain. This is the highest point of the park, and quite possibly the "best view" of the surrounding area that Hanging Rock State Park provides. Please dress for the weather, and anticipating shedding layers as the hike continues. Bring water/snacks and hiking sticks are recommended. You must sign up for this program by emailing jacob.fields@ncparks.gov
