Gorgeous Sunset at an elevation of 5,342, the Wayah Bald Lookout is perched high in the mountains of the Nantahala National Forest near the town of Franklin, North Carolina. The stone fire tower atop this summit was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1937 and decommissioned sometime in 1945. Conveniently situated at the intersection of the Appalachian Trail and the Bartram Trail, the observation tower offer sprawling views into the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and the Georgia Blue Ridge.
