1.5 Mile Roundtrip Loop

Moderate Hike That Takes You Through Forest & Field With Great Views Of The Tower Throughout

I’ve done the Joyner Ridge Trail (1.5 mile loop) twice, although only once to completion. The first time, a massive thunderstorm creeping on the summer horizon towards the tower forced me to turn around. The second time was with one of my best friends (and future officiant at my wedding) and we had a blast. The trail is short and sweet and has some amazing viewpoints of the tower from the forest, the fields, and some small cliffs. It’s a dynamic trail that runs through them all and all the while you get to enjoy the (possible) volcanic plug in all its mysterious splendor.
