Description Suggest change

New Crag being developed beneath the towers and the lodges. Sunny, 10 minute hike. 

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the lodges and walk down the parking lot to the left towards the woods. There is a trail called the "Towers Trail" marked by red paint and a sign that has fallen down. Go into the woods on this trail for about 75 feet and look for a fallen down tree on the right with pink flag leading into the woods. Follow the pink flagging to the left to the Towers cliff.  The towers cliff can be seen on the left from the climbers trail.  To reach the lodges cliff, follow the climber trail to where you can see the towers crag on the left and look right for a string of pink flags to the right that will lead you to the start of the Lodges Crag.
