loop hikeIt's a popular park, but there were a few trail options available to miss the crowds. The tower was not open yet unfortunately.

Good for kidsFun short winter climb with wife and kids. Had to carry my 2 year old all the way up and down, but my 4 year old was able to make it himself. We enjoyed the view and snow covered landscape.

Cub ScoutsClimbed it in 2005. I found a path down to the base of the rock face but of course i was 9 so I couldn't climb it. Climbed it in 2006 and 2007 also.

Route Climbed: Tower TrailGreat hike for kids! I took my 4 year old and 2 yr old. Just long enough to make it challenging for my 4 year old. My two year old did about half and was carried for half.
