My first VT Fire Tower just over the NH border. It gets you above the trees and the views are awesome! The top cab portion is not enclosed however, so you need to be prepared for windy conditions. Attempted to take the longer bike path down but lost the trail about halfway down due to leaf drop and lack of trail markings.
