trails: firetower road
conditions: some limited shoulder parking off of oak hill road in loudon right across from the start of the firetower road. the firetower road is marked with a sign and is gated. the road was mostly dry and had good walking with mild grades all the way to the summit.
equipment: nothing in particular.
comments: while driving back from another hike i got a great view of oak hill and thought i would swing by and take a hike up. the only route shown on the map i had available was the firetower road, but i now know there is a much more extensive trail network that looks worth exploring. unfortunately clouds had dropped by mid afternoon so i will have to go back to get the views from the firetower.
