A several hour hike up the Appalachian Trail from Wesser Creek in the Nantahala Gorge. Epic hike and views at the top! From Bryson City, take 74 West into the Nantahala Gorge. Turn left at the Exxon gas station onto Wesser Creek Rd. Follow Wesser Creek Rd to the end. Park and hit the trail!
This is a great hike for people of all abilities and gets you to amazing long range views.
Wesser Bald Fire Tower is a 3 mile round trip hike with a midway stop at the firetower with 360 degree mountain views. Parking area is at Tellico Gap on Otter Creek Road (a 45 min drive from our location, through beautiful Nantahala River Gorge). This a a somewhat steep hike on the Appalachian Trail and back down a wider access road. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it on top of the firetower. Do this hike on a clear day. If anyone in your group has a fear of heights, this hike is not for them.

Just a two mile drive to the trailhead. You can take the forest service gravel road up to the tower which is a mile up - a tad steep but not bad. Or take the AT trail which is 1.5 miles of switchbacks. View from tower is beautiful.
