A hilltop stone observation tower overlooking the Ozark ridges and valleys near Montauk State Park. Shoot panoramic vistas, layered forest ridgelines, seasonal fall color and dramatic skies from the tower platform. Best light is sunrise and golden hour; sunset can silhouette the tower against wide skies. Short but steep approach and stairs to the top—parking available at the trailhead; expect modest crowds on weekends and good accessibility but limited facilities. Special for classic Missouri Oz
