My teenage sons really enjoy climbing the rocks here. I do too, but don't go as far as they do. I stop much more often to take in the awesome beauty of this place and try capturing it in photos. I look forward to the...More
A short hike from the parking area and we were walking over a field of boulders, climbing as we went, following the water course flowing down the mountain. Boulders of every size, fallen tree trunks and general river born debris give realisation to the tremendous...More
All the rocks in the Alluvial Fan came from a fan that burst in the 80's. The results are a large boulder field with water running through it. My husband and I spent quite a bit of time climbing on the rocks and taking some...More

Along the Fall River Road this stop is very scenic and interesting area. The falls are beautiful and the alluvial deposits create interesting landscape. Although we parked at the east parking lot but I suggesting park at west parking lot if you find parking there....More
Did this easy walk from the east parking lot with a 2.5 yr old toddler. Parked on the east lot which as others have noted is smaller. The walk provided our toddler the opportunity to climb some small stepped stones and get comfortable with the...More
