Trail Overview
This short route is a must-see if you're in the area. If you're traveling Hurricane Gap it's well worth the detour. There area few campsites on the way up the mountain. Cell service is available, but be prepared to bring water since none is available. The tower itself is a relatively new construction and easily accessible. It offers 360 degree views of the Hurricane Gap area.
