"Thought this would take longer than it did, took us a little over 1.5hrs to the summit. Long and flat to start off, then got a bit steeper. Black flies were out in full force !!!" — UK-Ranger • May 14, 2016
"One of the longer hikes in the fire tower challenge, but certainly not difficult. Very enjoyable! Unfortunately the fire tower was not climbable, but the views from the summit are great regardless." — RangersApprentice • May 14, 2016
"Solo. Started out early in the morning & unfortunately missed the couple of hours of blue sky that I could've gotten in the afternoon. The trail was dry and easy at the start, with small patches of ice. About a mile in, it turned to boot-sucking, ankle deep mud, and maybe a mile from the summit, the snow was about knee deep, and extremely wet and awful- one step forward, and sliding 3 steps back. It was very disconcerting to hear running water under the snow, and after breaking through a few times, I did some creative bush whacking on the side of the trail to avoid getting wet feet. The sky was completely grey at the summit with swift winds & no view, but I hung out for awhile anyway. The removal of the first set of stairs onto the tower kind of sucks, but maybe if it is repaired in the future I will make a return trip on a sunnier day. " — kellieirene • Mar 16, 2016
"Late start this morning only managed to get Loon Lake and Azure toward the fire tower challenge. Loon lake was a pleasant stroll for quite awhile then it pitched up a bit. Near the top the trail got narrow , curvy and low with snow laden branches...like a maze for small people. Rapid descent with snowshoe skiing." — Nimblefoot • Jan 29, 2016
"Headed up on an overcast day. A couple inches of snow at the higher elevations. Followed a set of animal tracks on the way up. They were a good size, maybe bobcat? No view from the summit. Easy hike slightly steep in the last mile." — LGH-Tom • Dec 4, 2015
"Hiked to Loon Lake Fire Tower with Thomas. No views from the summit since it was overcast. Pretty easy hike with the first half using a lot of old logging roads. Spent the night in Lake Placid." — Kim-Stilson • Dec 4, 2015
