Access Issue: Reservation & Fee
Details
Enter before 7am, or explain you're a climber and you won't park at any nice parking lots. Otherwise, a reservation is required to drive up Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway. You pick a 2-hour window for entry, and pay $22 (2026). You can enter anytime during that period, and stay as long as you want. recreation.gov/timed-entry/…
It's free to access any area by hiking instead of driving. That includes hiking from Echo Lake Park to Roadside, Gateway, Area A, Possibility, and everything around there. It also includes Hell's Hole and other areas.

Description
This was the path of least resistance to access the top of the tower. Start from the northwest corner of the tower, and traverse east along the angling break on the north side of the tower to the northeast corner to the top. There is limited gear options, and the rock is crumbly. I was not the first on the tower. It would be fascinating to find out who left the tat on top.
