Acorn Woman Lookout was amazing! One of the cleanest fire towers I’ve stayed in. Had an incredible view of the stars at night & the most perfect weather during the day. The last mile up to the tower had some pretty sharp turns but plenty of room to navigate them so don’t panic! Would love to visit again :)
