There are many trails within the Park, some of which are actually accessible by automobile. This open stretch of roadway provides access to quite a number of cross-country ski trails. The trail sits on top of the roadway, which is closed to auto traffic and under a good deal of snow, during the winter months.
Visitors can park their cars on the side of the road at Roosevelt.
The trip to Tower Falls is 2.5 miles one way, and the return trip is by the same route. The trail gradually rises about 200 feet on the way to Tower Falls. At the 1.5 mark, skiers can stop and see Calcite Springs overlook for a good view down into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Bison and coyotes can also occasionally be spotted from the trail. At Tower Falls, visitors can shed their skies and walk down to the base of Tower Falls.
