Description

Large sandstone rocks with waterworn and eroded passages create a small area that can be explored easily without getting lost. A clear path circumscribes the rock structures and leads to the parking area. The trail is blazed with green markers by the state park. The trailhead is 1 mile west of Mather Lodge on Hwy-154. The central passageway is call "Eye of the Needle".
