Warning

This is in the entrance to a trail. It is a warning. It states that this trail is meant for people who are fit because it is a dangerous slippery path. It also asks that visiters do not bring any food or drink onto the trails.

A Long Way Down

This shows the top of one hill looking further along the trail. It also shows that rocks are everywhere

Going up?

This is looking directly up one of the boulders that line the edges of the trails. Sometimes you can see professsional rock climbers working their way up the sides of these rocks.

Shortcut

In the end of spring and getting towards the beginning of summer the trail can get very muddy. This is one of the shortcut that I take so that I can avoid the mud.

Signs

There are many different signs along the trail directing you to cifferent places here is a sign directing people to fat man's misery

Fat Man's Misery

This is Fat man's misery. It gets its name because it is a small space between tow large rocks. If a fat person were to go in their they would easily get stuck. Though it is also dangerous. I went in their and did not realize one of the rocks had fallen and I almost fell through,

Other picnic area

This picnic area is located next to the information center. This shows one of the picnic tables and a grill to cook food on. There are also swings nearby and there used to be a slide as well.
