For the next mile or so, the A.T. follows a rather level footpath along the west side of the ridge, traversing a deciduous forest with an understory of mountain laurel and blueberry. Spectacular fall foilage. If you want to hike, camp, kayak, canoe, rock climb, or fish, the Gap is the place to be. There are panoramic views from the top of the tower, but excellent views can also be obtained from its base, where there is a large picnic table. The A.T. continues south along the ridge, with more views to the left of the trail. Keep fires small. After another level stretch, the trail begins to climb, and about a mile from Stony Brook, it reaches a junction with the dark-green-blazed Tower Trail at a west-facing viewpoint studded with pitch pines.

When the Kaiser Trail (also designated as Kaiser Road) leaves to the left in a third of a mile, you should continue to follow the A.T., which climbs briefly, descends a little, then begins a steady climb. The grade now moderates somewhat, and after a brief level section, the Cartwright Trail ends at a junction with the Appalachian Trail (A.T.). As of 5/18/17, there is no sign where the kaiser and the AT intersect, and that intersection is really easy to miss on the way out.

He i A final note:  As you approach Stony Lake on the Tower Trail, there appears to be a mistake on the Trail Conference map (2012 edition), which shows 2 parallel trails after the sharp left turn at N41º12'14.3"  W074º45'56.3", whereas, in reality, both the Tower (G) and Stony Brook Trail (Br) are co-aligned on the more southerly of the 2 trails shown on the map.
