This is an all galvanized steel stairway, the last flight of stairs going up the interior of the tower to the top. The work of re-furbishing this tower is the finest work I have seen done for any of the old towers I have yet visited.

Nice road into park, many I have been on were in poor condition this is nicely paved without potholes. The trail to the top of the mountain is rough but easy to follow, not a hike for eveyone sections are very steep, rocky and covered with tree roots. The view atop is tremendous and the stone tower is in nice shape and easy to climb. Do not expect to picnic atop there are no tables or other facilities.
