Fischer's Tower and Central Tower are high rocky towers formed of semi-molten rock. The walk through the gorge is an amazing experience, follow the spring (it can sometimes be slippery in the gorge) through the water eroded walls which are narrow in places and pass through small waterfalls, hot water springs, and interesting rock formations. Back at Sunbird Lodge, enjoy lunch and thereafter you will have a relaxed afternoon, away from the maddening crowds. You can take a dip in the lodge’s refreshing pool or even enjoy a walk down to the lake.
