The Road to Isengard is the eighth chapter of the first book in The Two Towers.

Summary

King Théoden, Gandalf the white rider, Aragorn, Legolas, Erkenbrand, Éomer, Gimli and the men of Rohan all gathered beside a stream. When Théoden asked Gandalf about his wizardry over the trees, Gandalf laughed and told them that it had not been his doing. He asked them to come with him to Isengard if they wished to know more about the trees.

After resting, the men set forth again. They came to Orthanc, the citadel of Saruman at Isengard. They were surprised to find that Treebeard and his Ents had destroyed the citadel, and that Saruman and Wormtongue had hidden themselves away in Orthanc, guarded by none other than Merry and Pippin. Théoden, who was anxious to see Treebeard, said good-bye to the Hobbits and accompanied Gandalf to the Northern wall.
