The hiking route is very easy for hikers, but truly scenic. From the trailhead, the path runs straight to the rocks. Enjoy rock climbers as they show their perfect skills.

Basalt rocks are also great even without climbers. They give the opportunity to enjoy the indescribable power and beauty of the nature. Pay attentions to the cozy meadows full of wildflowers.

At about two miles from the trailhead, there is a breathtaking seasonal waterfall. Usually this waterfall can be enjoyed in spring. Different kinds of flowers make this spot even more beautiful, creating comfortable atmosphere for rest.

Usually hikers turn back after visiting this seasonal waterfall.
