"Wow wow wow, that was worth the stop. I counted over 120 steps to the top and not for the faint of heart! I visited on a very windy day and the entire tower was moving slightly. It still felt quite stable and safe though. I have to come back in the Fall to see this view. Only about 15-20 minutes from Thomas, but the last two miles of road is slow going if you don’t have a truck or SUV."
"I recommend not visiting when it’s cold, rainy, or mid morning when the fog may be blocking the view. We went there today and the steps were wet. My buddy went to the very top but couldn’t see much with the fog. I look forward to going back someday!"
"Amazing view, would be better with fall colors. Maintained well. Narrow roads be mindful."

"Superwow impressive. Tower is safe, but scary, if you are a afraid of heights. Tower is 2 miles away from main road. Gravel path manageable for a regular street car. Spot around Tower can hold around 6 cars. Worth the trip. Views are magnificent."
