This is a beautiful place for hiking, going along the many horseback trails, and seeing the gorgeous view. Keep in mind there are restrooms and signal. You do have to pay to park and the shot tower is only open on the weekend for tours. So if you get there and want to go inside, be sure you go on the weekend❤️
Lovely spot with an interesting history. We came through on a Sunday & there was a park ranger in the tower to tell you about the site and one at the entrance with animal pelts. Both helpful & informative. Great views and leg stretch. Easy to get to with parking right out front. We climbed to the top and enjoyed learning a bit about how shot was made.
