Since the 1920s, Carey Fire Tower has stood and is still active today. Its location was chosen due to its view in all directions of the remote backcountry in the Salmon River Mountains of west-central Idaho.
The road to the top is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle, and there is room for four to five vehicles to park. Once at the top, there is a stout picnic bench where you can enjoy lunch. The tower is seasonally staffed. If you are interested in fire towers, further reading can be found here.
