I'm not a rock climber at all, but I do love to climb lighthouses. After reading about Mt. Roosevelt Friendship Tower, I knew that we had to include it on our Black Hills road trip. It's just 2 1/2 miles north of historic Deadwood.
In under an hour, we had time for a round-trip hike on the 0.6 mile gravel loop trail. The 32-foot-tall stone tower is near the trail's midpoint as is another viewpoint. We even climbed the narrow spiral staircase to enjoy the view. It is said that you can see the area where Bullock and Roosevelt first met and thereby started their decades long friendship.
Do you enjoy climbing towers, lighthouses, etc. for the views?
