Glade Mtn is at the end of FR-516 , a rough 4-wheel-drive road. A wood tower was operated from 1941-70 when it was burned down after some materials were salvaged. All four guy wire eyebolts and a ground wire can be found, along with some bulldozed footings. Views spotty with some trees and some openings.
