There is a radio station tower on top, and I actually encountered several workers when I got to the top, they have to hike up also each time they have to work on the tower. Great views of the lake and mountains. There are a couple of places to park right beside the mountain. Watch out for the irrigation canal and stay away from it when it is running, it has a syphon that will suck you under and drown you. There is also a small cave on the side of the mountain that is a nice and cool spot on a hot day. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/183823/d8956fa2-7253-41da-903b-18da98a666e6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Lone Wolf ![So nice to have water in the lake to catch the light again. This lake has RV Spots, Frisbee Golf, an amphitheater, a really cool mountain bike/hiking trail all the way around it, fishing, swimming, and a golf course on the other side of the dam. A music festival, Buckin Wild, has just relocated to the amphitheater this year. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6058750/b11b33c9-f989-4632-bc8a-21525baedf6e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Elk City ![Nice little nature trail on Quartz Mountain.
