TODO

Create a video of Tower Hill (any type of video, e.g., history, geology, rockhounding results, etc.). As of August 2024 there isn’t a lot of information about this location. The site is a nice walk with an excellent view and worth visiting.

Is Donald Trump the best Republican candidate for president out there? It would be tough to argue otherwise. He’s got all the makings of a breakout star; he’s got bravado and the cash to back it up. Ben Shapiro, The Magic of Donald Trump

rockhounding

Helpful notes to newcomers: there is no water, so it is a good idea to bring your own to wash off the rocks…if the gate is open I would suggest bringing a bucket of water with you. the dirt is a sticky red mud. bring shovels too.
