Tower-Roosevelt Comprehensive Plan

The Tower-Roosevelt Comprehensive Plan utilizes planning zones, design standards, and projects, to set the acceptable limits of change that will be allowed at Tower-Roosevelt. These limits reflect the desired future conditions for this area and are designed to protect the area's natural resources, and preserve the historic, rustic nature of the area, which was first developed as a stage stop over one hundred years ago.

It ensures that the Tower-Roosevelt area continues to be a scenic and rustic area where visitors can continue to enjoy horseback rides, and chuck wagon cookouts at Yancey's Hole. The plan allows for limited growth at the Roosevelt Lodge cabins, and in the National Park Service administrative areas, to better serve visitor needs.

The Tower Fall Store will remain, but could be reduced in size, and the parking area may be redesigned and expanded for safety. The Tower Campground will remain small and rustic, with the possible construction of an additional vault toilet.
