Sept. 2023
The staff we encountered over two different visits was very nice. I called previous to the trip and again the staff was helpful and nice.
We hiked the Red blazed trail and one of the Blue blazed trails. I absolutely love the rocky rugged terrain. There were many rock shelves to walk out on and lots of shear drop-offs to walk up to the edge.
Since it was bone dry when we hiked there was no flowing water. That being said there are countless little waterfalls and streams that would be magnificent during the rainy time of year.
The Runestone was neat, but I hate that a building is built around it. Unfortunately we have to protect our 'gems' from 'stupid'.
This is a great place to spend a ½ day chasing out the trails and learning the history of such a unique find in our state.
The park was very clean everywhere we drove and walked.
There is no entrance fee, but I encourage you to leave a donation to maintain access for those who follow after us.
