Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: Please be aware of seasonal raptor closures at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings.

Description [Edit]
Hidden Tower is the secretive formation northwest of Lady in the Bathtub. it's big, around 300 feet high and, like most of the Valley of the Gods towers, steep in every direction. In fact most facets overhang.
Getting There [Edit]
It's close to a two-mile (1.25-hour) hike from the road. Park just off the main road in a big wash (with blue-gray limestone slickrock) a half-mile north and east of the Lday in the Bathtub parking. Hike the wash northwest toward the tower. At the steep talus slopes the more westerly ridges are easier to ascend and dump you out at the southwest corner.
