Description Suggest change

This tower rises right next to the climber's parking lot and is characterized by slightly chossy rock and a handful of moderate routes. The Ford & Yoder guidebook refers to an old traverse boulder route which was popular in the 1950s.

Getting There Suggest change

The Near Trail goes right by the tower--you can't miss it on your way from the climber's parking lot to Zig Zag or the mesa.
