Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower

Amazing lookout tower.

Our take

Climb the old steel fire tower near Mount Pisgah for a full 360 panorama that's hard to beat. Parkway access reopened in 2025, so it's back on the table. Winter weather is the only thing that closes it now, check before you drive up.
