This is such a unique park (in regards to the boulders) as it truly is as amazing as the pictures look. It is a large area of massive boulders that are easy to scale and jump across at your own risk..... more »

What a beautiful place to visit. But I'll advise you to wear sneakers to be on the safe side. There are lots of rocks yo step over. However, some of my group wore flats and they were fine. We did see a bear from far, we didn't disturb each other. The fall is gorgeous, tourists were enjoying themselves in the water and having a good time. It was a great experience for the entire family. I love that even though it was a bit deep in that it wasn't scary. I'll love to visit once more.

A very casual experience. A great little trail and park for family hikes. The trails is decently kept, if not a little unmanageable at points with roots or rocks making it a bit difficult for children. But the water features are beautiful and surrounding forest does a decent job separating you from the nearby road.

This is a well run and interesting park and campground for all levels of users. Can be very busy, so obtain reservations as needed. Needs some maintenance updates here and there. The boulder field is very interesting and memorable. If you like rocks and geology subjects, then it is highly recommended. Sort of like something out of a science fiction type book visit to another planet.
