The rangers who were at the bottom of the tower said they are looking to make a climb available monthly they are also offering guided hikes

So they were there and let you go up? I guess maybe they got tired at yelling at people and are trying to figure out a way to make sure people are safe but can still enjoy the view. I was so bummed last time I went and it was locked off.

That was my experience too. The last time I did the hike the tower was closed. I was very envious when I saw these pictures.

It used to be open, but people had to go and mess it up.

Just don't go in September. The chiggers just swarm there.

Missed this opportunity, so I’m happy to hear they plan to do it again. Nice shot!
