A ranger will be available to answer questions, and Smoky Bear items will be waiting for children who make it to the top. Dogs on leash are allowed to accompany hikers to the top, but cannot climb to the top of the tower because of the open grating on the steps and platform. Warm clothes are strongly recommended. virginia_reams@nps.gov (Virginia Reams) a5198f8d-18cb-c6fd-0e5a-2c84b6b59cca Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:32:41 GMT http://www.nps.gov/acad/parknews/index.htm The East Face Trail, renamed the Orange and Black Path, has reopened after a three-year closure.
