Tower Rock State Park, Rock formation state park in Cascade County, Montana, US.

Tower Rock rises 424 feet above the Missouri River Canyon, marking the entrance to the Adel Mountains Volcanic Field with its igneous formation.

During the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805, Captain Meriwether Lewis documented this geological formation as a notable landmark along their journey.

The Piegan Blackfeet conducted ceremonies at this location, while other Native American tribes used it to navigate toward buffalo hunting grounds.

The maintained trail extends for a quarter mile to the saddle base, with five interpretive panels at the trailhead explaining geological and historical information.

Geological studies indicate the rock formation dates back approximately 75 million years, consisting of volcanic sequences atop Cretaceous sedimentary rock.
