The area was inhabited by Native Americans as early as 10,000 B.C. with the sandstone bluffs providing them shelter. The lodge was named for the unusual rock formations that resemble towering buildings and winding streets of a mythical giant's town. The facility sits on a hill, the highest point in the park, and is surrounded by 34 cabins.
