    Hiking

    The Balanced Rock Trail, also known as Grapevine Hills Trail, offers a relatively short but somewhat challenging hike due to the heat in the summer and the incline towards the end. The trail is mostly flat, winding through rocky hills with formations resembling grapevines. The final ascent leads to the impressive Balanced Rock, a large boulder precariously perched on top of other rocks, with a great photo opportunity for hikers.

    Hiking

    Easy path through the desert landscape with great views. Only at the end of the trail it gets a little steeper.
