Walk the Tower Trail Loop

The Tower Trail is a 1.3-mile (2-km) paved walking path around the base of Devils Tower. Although it has a very steep start, and some uphill-downhill sections, the trail is generally easy to walk. Benches, waysides and beautiful views offer plenty of chances for relaxation. Waysides throughout the trail help visitors learn about the natural and cultural history of the park. Access to rock scrambling is available from the trail, and many visitors enjoy watching the rock climbers as they make their way up and down the Tower. This trail takes about 45-60 minutes to walk, and is a great way to experience the park for those visitors only staying a short time. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. The trail is open year round, but is not maintained in the winter. It commonly has packed snow and ice from December through April.
