Northeastern Wyoming

After circumnavigating the tower base via bouldering about 3/4 of the way around, I decide to check out the 1.3 mile trail to get a different perspective of the tower.

And to my pleasure, the perspective is vastly improved. Given the better photos, was my earlier tour near the tower's base a stupid idea? Yeah, probably. Let's just forget about all that and move on.

In the 1800s they built a 350 foot ladder in an effort to get to the top. These sight tubes were an aid at pointing out where the last remaining ladder remnants were on the rockface.

More great pictures of the tower.
