Tower Rock

Tower Rock State Park is a small few acre park with a unique history. It was here that Lewis and Clark climbed up onto the large rock buttresses to gain a vantage point for navigating the canyons of the Big Belt mountains. It is a great place to climb around with a few steep sloped with a mixture of scree and boulder scrambles. The views are pretty nice from the top although the highway tends to detract from it a bit. What it does offer to the photographer's lens is an array of rock formations from small boulders to 400 foot high towering walls, weather beaten dead fall timber and lichen and moss covered rocks and you do get great glimpses of the Big Belts which hold snow into early summer.

For this trek i went light taking only the camera and my all purpose 18-250mm sigma lens. This combo was more that sufficient to capture the types of shots I was after.
