Battle Mountain Fire Tower
Battle Mountain Fire Tower is off highway 385 in Hot Springs. Turn East off Highway 385 onto Thompson Avenue, which becomes Battle Mountain Road. The tower is about 1.5 miles ahead, but the road is pretty rough, mostly one lane, and a high clearance vehicle is recommended. The tower is closed, but you can get up close to it and it has some pretty awesome views on top of the mountain. Don’t get the fire tower confused with the radio tower which is near it and much bigger.

Tree growing from inside the rock. Neat.
