Thanks so much for the tour. I just spent 3 days in and around Little Switzerland and I think I'm in love with the whole place.

Can you still access this mountain. I hiked this mnt. And Mt. Ida when I was Younger.

[brentdcanipe]

Yes You sure can. A housing development has now been built on the mountain. and access is from Grant's Mtn. road. from Ashworth road in Marion.

[tsorbilli]

I see my house! lol j/k but its there some where. is this those towers you can see from 221?

[brentdcanipe]

Sure is.  The one I'm on is the tall one beside the two shorter ones. It's 300' and the other 2 are about 160' each.

Occasionally I go up with a 10X zoom camera and take a few pictures if the air is real dry. The dryer the air the further you can see and still get decent pictures.

Grew up in Marion, climbed that mountain right after those towers were put up, just after it was clear cut it was a beautiful view.

[evilpressley]

hey, brian. this is james whom you worked with at the big M. too bad the only way to get up there now is to pay 100,000.

[evilpressley]

they have a gate up now. i guess to keep people like me from going up there. this is james from marion brain. nice to see you still kicking
