high knob once was site of a fire tower,located on a 900 ft tall hill just east of garden of the gods. great spot to picnic when the garden is a zoo!!
turn north in karbers ridge , 2 miles to high knob.looks like you are entering a horse camp. drive on thru on main gravel and follow road up the hill. great view and picnic area.usually not as crowded as Garden of the Gods. all that is left of tower is 4 small concrete bases.
great trail starts on south side of open area , on your left as you drive up and follows around base of the bluffs, and comes back to parking lot from the North end by the "privy", trail is very scenic, must explore this!!
take trail from 37.599698 -88.327953 to the cache and follow it on around.
usgs benchmark about 125ft s of old tower base.
Rivertorivertrail.com trail crosses access road just before you get to top of hill. can follow it on to buzzard point( about 2.5 mile) and to garden of gods( 1.5 mile more).
camo food container with logbook,pencil.lots of geomuggles in area so i reccomend tnlnsl just enjoy the view.!!!
if you want a view from a fire tower, check out Trigg Tower between Eddyville,Ozark,Tunnel Hill.closest tower
that i know of that is still open to public. well worth the
drive and climb while it's still available. the Forest Service may quit maintaining it one of these days!!
