This was all uphill but loads of view all the way up. Great trail.  This is one I would definitely repeat.

Nice trail, steady incline from trailhead to tower! Great views, awesome fall colors.

This wide flat road/trail makes this hike easier than the rest. Steady elevation gain with plenty of shade and wind.
