Balancing Rock stands atop the granite dome. You can get there via a marked rocky stretch that is fairly steep but wide. You need a certain level of fitness to get up there and the reward is a breathtaking view of the national park. Good footwear is required. When it rains, the ground can get quite slippery - then I wouldn't recommend the ascent.
