Whether it’s the view from the summit or from the tower--or the experiences in route--”fire tower fever” grips you right away and there’s no turning
back. The Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) created the Fire Tower Challenge to encourage hikers to appreciate
fire towers, their history and the peaks where they are located.
What is the Fire Tower Challenge?
The Fire Tower Challenge began with the publication of the guidebook, ‘Views from on
High: Fire Tower Trails in the Adirondacks and Catskills’ by John P. (Jack) Freeman. The Challenge
hikes are described in detail, along with a fascinating essay describing the history of Forest
Preserve fire towers by noted historic preservationist Wesley H. Haynes. The book is published
by the ADK Mountain Club.
To buy Views from on High call 1-800-395-8080 (8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Mon through Sat.),
visit the Club’s Lake George or Heart Lake facilities or purchase online from the ADK Mountain
Club Online Store, It is also available from bookstores and outdoor retailers. In North Creek,
Hudson River Trading Company typically carries the book. You don’t need to be a member of
ADK to take part in the Challenge.
Rules of the Fire Tower Challenge:
To complete the Challenge and receive the official full-color patch,
hikers must climb and document, by date, ascents of at least 23 fire
tower summits: 18 of 23 Adirondack Park summits and all 5 Catskill
Park summits. Climbing each tower itself is not required, nor in fact
recommended, for those towers that have not been restored for safe
public use.
The mountain should have a standing fire tower on the date of
your ascent. Two of the Adirondack towers described in Views from
on High have been removed—see list on reverse. When registering
the dates of your climb, be sure to use extra sheets of paper to describe
details of interest: weather, wildlife sightings, your impressions, your
companions - and whatever else caught your attention. We really want
you to share your experiences with us, so please be expressive.
