Advice

  • The Park Police is very active , WATCH YOUR SPEED AT ALL TIME !! , lots of water around the Big Rock , Day time is very good with sunshine to get pictures , At Christmas time , nightime decorations will be a plus to get photos . ,five miles walk around the Rock, or a nice climb to the top on a trail that is maintained year around . The tramway take you to the top if you chose . Hazards ? not that I am aware of . Like every other place , you must be aware of your location and suroundings .
