Comments
Comments: This hike brought us to East Whitcomb in Odell, NH, #81 on the list of 93 fire towers that are standing, once stood or were proposed. This fire tower is easily accessed. The trails ranged from grass covered to dirt and never felt overly steep. It is one of our favorite hikes on this list so far. The fact that we ran into a moose on the trail while we were leaving didn’t hurt either. We were expecting a bushwhack, but found ATV/Snowmobile trails that went all the way to the summit. At one time the tower was rented out as a Honeymoon Cabin by Timberland Trails.
We did post a video of our hike...just follow the link.
