I learned about this website camping at Arcadia this week, what a wonderful resource. My wife and I love to drive down here and this is one of our favorite trails. It takes us 3 hours to get to the summit. There aren't a whole lot of views from the trail itself but from the tower you can get a good persepctive on the area. We've been lucky and have been allowed up into the tower twice but sometimes they won't let you. More than making up for the lack of views from the trail is the opportunity to spot wildlife. We always see deer and even a few black bear.
