“A newly rerouted trail with several fun rocky sections.”

— Paul Stahlschmidt
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

The north end of Tower Trail (432A) begins at the intersection of Narrowback Trail and Festival Trail. It continues south along the Narrowback Ridge until it reaches Tillman West, and beyond that continues for another quarter mile until ending at a radio tower and Forest Road 536D.

Tower Trail is the recipient of some major changes that have rerouted the trail off of the ridgeline. The new alignment has a handful of technical sections that traverse small boulderfields and a variety of other rocky bits.
