Read moreThis is a fun place to explore with the family or if you are by yourself. There were plenty of parking spots in the various parking places in the loop when you first enter. I would have been more relaxed if my kids were a little bit older. My kids are 8 and under, but if my youngest were around 10, not energetically crazy, and had more situational awareness, then I would have been more comfortable. We just had to be more alert and make sure the kids weren’t running places because there are some definite danger spots with drop offs. There was a small narrows type place that was really cool. At the entrance was a cool temperature, open, covered area with a tree which creates a awesome looking environment.

It is a fun natural park. I did not see any restrooms while we...
Read moreThis was unexpectedly better than It thought it would be. First off, the price was free. Free entry and free parking- can't beat that!
We went on and extremely hot day, so make sure you bring water while you are exploring. Trust me, just do it. The Narrows is pretty neat. Its about 50 yards from one of the parking areas. We had no trouble finding it.
We did have trouble finding the arch. We drove around and around, looking. You can not see it from the park road.
Here's how we found it. 1st- park at the HIGHEST elevation parking lot area (the one that has a picnic bench) 2nd if you walk to the right of it down slightly in little valley to a sign you are going in the right direction. 3rd. Keep going past the sign another 50 yards or so and then look up to your left. You will see it. Its way smaller than you would expect. You are able to hike up there and get close, again bring water.
We enjoyed this park and the...
