Blue trails Moderate difficulty hike, it's steep near a small waterfall. you need to do blue + blue dot trail to reach tripod rock. For bear rock, connect to yellow trail on way back from tripod rock. Other way it's steep and draining.

Blue + Blue dot (tripod rock) , back on blue dot Lucy's overlook + yellow trail (bear rock) + orange trail...

A magnificent and famous geologic mystery you must see and investigate yourself! Natural or man-made? Dropped in place by an enormous melting glacier or Aliens ?!?

Either way it’s a wonderful site and has plenty of beautiful trails to explore. I recommend some light geology review beforehand, you'll appreciate it...

What a special place. I had a great time hiking here with my family. Do be aware that it is a real hike to get there. Far from truly difficult, but not easy either. That being said my 9 year old made it there...

Love this park. Multiple trails of varying difficulty and distance. Great for both humans and dogs. Small note, watch out for irresponsible owners not in control of their animal companions.
