Balanced Rock, Big Bend National Park, Texas

Description

At the end of the Grapevine Hills Trail, you'll come to this large rock balanced and suspended overhead by two other rocks.

Short Hike: Hike about 1 mile along the Grapevine Hills Trail.

Family Friendly: It's an interesting rock formation that is both impressive for adults and for children alike. The hike is not too difficult either.

Grueling rock scramble at the top, but the views throughout the valley make it all worth it.
