1st time visiting this place, I found this place my accident checking Google maps. To begin parking area is very small fits maybe 10 cars so keep that in mind. There's no rest rooms available so plan accordingly, there's no fee to visit. The hike to the tower is all uphill so brace yourself good thing is the incline not too steep. Depending on your walking speed hike up can take 13-20 minutes, it's less than a mile. I took me 13 to hike up and 10 minutes to come back down. Definitely take your time once you start walking up the step of the tower not a place where you want to get hurt. Once you reach the very top the views are absolutely beautiful Definitely worth the hike. Absolutely peaceful once you're up there, mountains and lakes in each direction you look. You almost don't want to come down due to how gorgeous and relaxing to be up there. Fyi there were a few bees but if you Don't mess with them they'll leave you alone. Also keep in mind cell service is not the best in the area, but overall I definitely enjoyed my experience there and reccomend anyone to visit you won't regret it.
