The Tower Trail
This is the most popular hike in the park and is an easy paved 1.6 mile trail that goes around the tower. It starts at the parking area near the visitor center. There are benches along the way to sit down and enjoy the beauty, lots of informative displays, and a lot of boulders along the trail for little kids to play on and enjoy exploring.

On the east side of the tower, you can get pretty close and even touch the tower without climbing any boulders.

Can be pretty icy and hard to walk in some parts.
Nice and easy trail around the tower. Handicapped accessible also.
