Geologists believe the rocks originated as sand and gravel sea islands, over 300 million years ago. The islands were part of a huge river delta. Over aeons, the islands were covered by thousands of feet of sediments, and were 'pressure compacted' into rock. Since that time a lush, mixed forest has grown over the site. A one mile hiking trail encircles the formation.
Tours are self-guided.
A trail map is provided. The trail leads thru a world of towering rocks, hundreds of crevice 'alley' passageways, deep, cavernous dens, and small caves. Gigantic tree roots snake down rocks. Delicate ferns and mosses abound. The trail can be hiked non-stop in 20 minutes.
