Balancing Rock is a fantastic granite formation along the Castle Rock Trail. The large boulder seems to rest precariously on a narrow base, creating one of the most photographed features on the walk. It sits near the final climb to the Granite Skywalk and is a popular rest and viewing spot for walkers.
