The Hickory Ridge Lookout Tower was built in 1936 to protect the Hoosier National Forest from wildfires.
Here is the long, winding road to the tower. It took FOREVER to get there... okay like 20 minutes.
The leaves were many very pretty colors
It was a good time to go
It was very scary walking up the stairs... I think I started to hyperventilate. I didn't think Emily was going to make it up, but she joined me after I was already up there. Apparently I was shaking the tower too much.
The tower is 110 feet tall and has 123 steps.
This is way too long and way too many pictures for this tower, but it was fun!!
