Zowie is a small tower in Rocky Mountain National Park. It offers fun alpine climbing with a short 4-mile hike and an approachable difficulty (only one crux pitch of 5.8+). Plus, it’s just fun to say. Try it out: Zowie. Zowie!!

The Quick Hit

Many people compare this tower to the nearby Petit Grepon, due to the similar shapes of both formations. You will certainly find fewer people on Zowie, as it is lesser-known…
