★ Why we picked this

Howard Knob is open again after a $2.2 million rebuild that put in a skybridge overlook and access for people who could not get to the views before. The mountain itself has been here the whole time, but the mountain with a ramp is new. Go see what two million dollars and some actual thinking about who gets to go where looks like.

If you were in Boone in the 90s you may recall the infamous "Red Dot House" once stood prominently on Howard Knob. Check the Red Dot Pod for the backstory on that one.
