Lower Mount Cammerer Trail, Hiking trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, US.
Lower Mount Cammerer Trail extends 7.4 miles through dense forests, crossing multiple streams and ascending 2,600 feet to reach Mount Cammerer's peak at 4,928 feet.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the stone fire tower at the summit in 1937, which served as a monitoring station until the 1960s.
The trail area connects to the heritage of Ella Costner, who earned recognition as a literary figure documenting life in the Smoky Mountains.
Hikers can access the trailhead from Cosby Campground, with the path connecting to the Appalachian Trail and featuring Campsite 35 for overnight stays.
The summit structure incorporates local quartzite stone in its construction, reflecting the geological composition of the mountain's distinctive outcrops.
