It is a beautiful view. The tower closes for winter, as the road is a bit steep! To quote my kids, 'Last One!'
The leaves were wonderful, but were much better a few weeks ago. That said, after driving 4 hours it was good to get out of the car. My tendonitis precludes me from walking too much but climbing was a different thing.
I was on my way to Bondi Village to stay with Nancy whilst attending a conference put on by the Circle of Friends in nearby Huntsville. We are volunteers who help cherish our Ontario Parks. Nancy writes about the tower:
The tower at Dorset was built in 1922. The original external ladder that lead to the top was 82 feet high. In 1967 a new Tower was constructed, complete with the current internal stairway. It should make you feel safer as you ascend...

A beautiful, if short-lived, time of the year...

What a view! Great that you could get up to the tower. I used to take my outdoor Ed kids up to a tower. The guy there was quite a character and very entertaining. It was emote so he got supplies once a week and stayed up all summer.
What gorgeous views from the lookout tower.
Oh my goodness! What gorgeous fall colors!
Wow Jenn that's just a perfect Fall. Every Autumn color is there -- beautiful. Really neat to see it from the top of a tower. Lovely, thanks for sharing!
