Amphitheater Rock

Highlight • Climb

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.

Saddle Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Tip by

Saddle Rock Trail Ladder

Highlight • Trail

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.
