This is an easy viewpoint hike off the Parkway to a large rocky outcrop of Quartzite interlaced with ribbons of durable white quartz. Severe local climatic conditions limit plant growth and soil formation. The views are nice as are the Bonzi like trees. Along the way, signs explain the different plant life found on the trail.
