Beautiful hike to an absolutely stunning view. Bring plenty of water and snacks and make sure to wear real hiking shoes!

Best spot in SW VA to be inspired. Especially this time of the year with the Fall colors. The drive to the top is a gravel road so try to get an SUV or truck for the trip. The hike up gets a bit rocky and steep but only takes 15 to 20 minutes. One request: Please do not litter up there. The amount of trash in Fugate Gap is getting awful!

Can you climb the tower?

It can be done, but it's not safe. The floor is gone from the top and there are random steps and railing missing.
