    Needle Rock is a 7,797-foot tall rock formation in the Needle Rock Study Area just outside of Crawford, Colorado. The trail leading up the feature dead ends near the cliff walls, giving you an up close and personal feel of the outcrop. There is no safe climbing route that you can utilize, and the trail leading up to here to already steep enough.
