About This Trail
The tower trail goes up the mountain. Take a road that leads to a cellphone tower. It connects to Backside Trail, an alternate route that goes down to the parking lot. It is just over two and a half hours. Tower Trail is a longer and less steep climb. The view of Charlotte is fantastic.
