"Went here for the famous Grandview overlook and it was such an amazing experience. There are a ton of trails for you to explore, with a wide range of difficulty. But as the name states, the Grandview is just beautiful and breathtaking. To get to the overlook, there is a parking lot close by to the entrance and its basically a short walk. If you wanted to explore more areas, there are signs with different trails for you to explore. It all loops back."
"Great spot! We drove a little out of our way to swing by this place. Definitely worth it! We enjoyed the little trails. The rocks were fun. The best part is the view. It’s truly epic! They have a great viewing deck. Very safe and perfect for the whole family!"
"Stopped here in the rain at the end of the day. The trail is not far from the parking lot and the view was spectacular! Even in bad weather, it’s worth the stop!"
"I really enjoyed the outlook and beautiful trails. There are lots of cool places to explore. We were climbing all over the place exploring caves and stuff. There's a nice park for the kids also with a playset, swings, volleyball court. There were other places to check out that we didn't see during our visit, do I would say this place is a good place to explore or relax all day long. The deers are so tame here they were within 5 ft and never ran away."
