Absolutely incredible views, pretty packed on a Sunday night. Can be very cold with the wind. Easy hike as well, well maintained and not strenuous
About a 15 min hike up the grave road leading to this lookout tower! The best thing we did all week... STOP and climb it! The 360 views are incredible!!
The views from the tower are outstanding. On clear days you can see for miles. The hiking trail is wide and very well maintained also serving as an access road. Great hike for everyone. The parking lot can get full very quickly and it is located off Blue Ridge Parkway.
Great hike for the family. Gravel path, fairly easy incline up the mountain, levels off somewhat near the top. The tower is old but the structure seems safe. Views are out of this world amazing. Incredible experience seeing God's creation from the top of a tower that is on the the top of a mountain! Highly recommend this hike.
Moderately easy hike at about 1.5 miles and 350 ft elevation gain. The views at the top are amazing. The tower itself is well aged and the metal steps shake as you walk on them. There was a large group at the top when I went so I only made it just below the top but the views are just as good.
Top three experiences of my life. View is absolutely unmatched.
If you're brave enough to climb the steps and crawl through the hatch, the observation deck of the tower is now my favorite place on earth.

The hike was all uphill going and downhill coming back but short, about .75 miles each way. The tower was 5 flights of shaky stairs and when we got to the top, it was locked. It was obvious people have been climbing through the floor. Great views!
