Visit two places of history on this hike: The Appalachian Trail and the fire-lookout on Mt. Cammerer. You will have lunch while observing breathtaking views and walking around the circular walkway of this timber and stone structure. The fire lookout was built by the CCC in 1939 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. This hike is far less crowed than Mt. LeConte and the views are just as breathtaking. Camp will be set on the way up at 35 so the hike up with be light; return to camp for a delicious mountain dinner and warm campfire.
