One of the best ways to have a memorable outdoor adventure is to hike to a destination. If this sounds like your idea of a good time, put Mount Elmore on your list of hikes to do for breathtaking views from a little-known fire tower.

Based in Elmore State Park in Vermont, Mount Elmore is an intermediate-level hike that’s just over 5 miles. Although the fire tower is a destination along the trail, you’ll get to take in stunning views of wildflowers, a forest, a beach, and other points of nature. You can even bring your leashed dog with you too!

To reach the Mount Elmore trail, head to the trailhead at Elmore State Park. When you arrive, follow the well-marked trail to the fire tower.

This landmark fire tower was built in 1939. Your climb up it will be just as memorable as the stunning scenery overlooking Lake Elmore.
