We parked at Ball Creek Road and began our hike to the fire tower on Albert Mountain. It took us about 30 minutes and was pretty much uphill all the way there. It was a little strenuous, but not too bad. We met a few people hiking the trail heading north. Everyone was very friendly. Once we reached the tower, the view was so beautiful! Definitely worth the short hike to reach the tower. You are able to climb up the tower part of the way. There is historical information at the tower that is quite interesting. Lots of fun and our 2 small dogs were able to make the hike with no trouble as well.
