Yellow Mountain Fire Tower
Hike
Directions

The road to get here is private. Please exercise caution and respect while using it. The parking lot at the top can accommodate approximately 4-5 cars. DO NOT park on the road as you can get fined.

You are able to camp here overnight. If you choose to do so, I recommend doing the full hike from Yellow Mountain Trailhead. This is a hard hike, but there's a dedicated spot for your car and you will get to experience more of the Nantahala Forest!
