Trail description

An 8.9 km climb from Cosby Campground on the Low Gap Trail, the Appalachian Trail and the Mount Cammerer Trail to the restored fire lookout on Mount Cammerer, on the Tennessee-North Carolina line at the north-eastern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains. The lookout has panoramic views of the eastern Smokies, Cocke County and the Blue Ridge Mountains; staffed by a fire ranger until the 1960s, it fell into disrepair and was restored in 1996.
