Tipton Mountain sits at 3152 ft. along the Benton MacKaye Trail, with not much vegetation, and offers views of the Buckeye Creek Valley and Bald Top. It can be easily accessed from Morganton Highway or by hiking the 300-mile Benton Mackaye Trail (or part of it).

Bald Top

Highlight • Summit

Bald Top is a humble 2920 ft summit, sitting along a forest road, very close to the Benton MacKaye Trail. The top of the mountain is grassland mixed with trees. It can be combined as a loop with Tipton Mountain and Brawley Mountain; this is not such a popular area so you might find some solitude around here.

Brawley Mountain Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lookout Tower on Brawley Mountain rests on the 3,027-foot mountain. The nearby summit of Tipton Mountain (3,147 feet) is higher, but it's hard to get a good view in the mountains without a lookout tower of sorts. There are lots of great trails around here, but the NFR 45 forest road is a quiet dirt road that's nearby and is a quicker option for getting back to the car.
