Section of the Tower Path common to the red-blazed Hexagon Trail. This well-groomed crushed stone trail winds over easy grades from the park entrance to the Stone Tower.

All five red blaze trails in SGSP are north-south trails, making them handy feeder and crossover trails. This trail intersects with the blue-blazed Quinnipiac Trail near the Giant's chin.
