Description

The park offers steep trails and great sandstone climbing options with slabs and spires varying from beginner climbs and bouldering to more challenging routes that require rock-climbing equipment. Orchard Loop runs along the southwestern side of the park connecting from Orchard Spur to a four-way junction with Vulture Spur, Grand Central Loop, and Austrian Loop.
