“This 3,300 acre wilderness ranks 10th in the United States for photographing sandstone rock formations and high vistas. The easiest trail is the 1/4 mile Observation Trail for outstanding views and to see Camel Rock, Anvil Rock and Devil’s Smokestack. Five miles of trails are part of the River to River Trail, and some are difficult.”
