The park offers a mile and a half of steep hiking trail. For rock climbers, slabs and spires vary from easy to difficult and require rock-climbing equipment.

To prevent trail erosion, please stay on designated trails and avoid cutting the switchbacks and banks. The trails are for hiking only. Bikes are not permitted in the park.

No bolting or drilling is allowed. Climbers must be off the rocks one-half hour before the park closes, which varies daily and is posted at the entrance to the climbing area. Citations will be issued, as this rule is strictly enforced.

Alcohol is prohibited in climbing and parking areas.
