Description Suggest change

This is the tall, spaceship-looking landform tucked in behind the Palisade overlooking Gateway. It has three distinct summits, two shorter, the center much taller (approximately 350'). There are several lines on the towers.

Getting There Suggest change

Anyway you look at it, it's a two hour hump to the base. A recon is recomended as there is no trail, and it is quite easy to get lost in washes leading up to the tower.
