Rich Mountain fire tower, located on the TN/NC state line (Greene County, TN and Madison County, TN), this fire tower is one of the few you can drive all the way to. However, the around 6 mile drive up Hurricane Gap Rd requires a high clearance vehicle. It is a dirt/gravel unmaintained road. The Appalachian Trail runs just beside the peak, and the tower has been restored and is open to hikers. It offers beautiful views of a sea of mountains.
