Tower Fall Details
Monolithic volcanic formations stand guard around this 132-foot waterfall. You can follow a steep trail from the base to the top of the falls, although the bottom half is currently closed and may remain so for some time, according to park officials. There's an overlook at the top if you don't want to hike. The trail is open year-round, but like the falls themselves gets icy in winter.
