Amphitheater Rock Trail climbs into a dense, green area. This is a popular area for climbers so there are lots of spur trails at the top leading to different routes.

Really cool rock outcropping known as Saddle Rock. Tough and steep trail to ascend or descend from Amphitheater Trail including an installed ladder on a heavily damaged area due to floods.

Please be careful when you reach the steep, flood-damaged part of the trail as there is an installed ladder that you will need to climb. Exercise caution in this area.

The Bridge over the Skunk Creek is very well made and once crossed, offers you beautiful views on rock formations.

There is a charming stone bridge over Bear Creek that has small cascades flowing beneath it. Although power lines somewhat detract from its natural beauty, it is still a lovely spot to appreciate.
