About This Trail
In the spring the wild flowers grow on the trail and the view of the tower is spectacular. You are near the river on a ledge. It is possible to go down to the river. This is not the place to cross the river. If you're returning to your car you should take the extra mile to view the Gorge, Hawksbill Rock, and Table Rock. It is only a short walk to the platform.
