Heading down Rocky Ridge Trail
From atop the rocky ledges you can see all the Mountain Laurel in the forest below
Another rocky scramble on the leaf strewn trail
Trail flanked by Mountain Laurel
Some ups and downs along the trail through the Mixed forest
A weird angle for a tree to grow
Moderate climb up steep rock face
Once you get up the steep section you can safely walk up the large ledge.
Climbing up the rock face can get easier if you use tree roots to grab onto
Watch your step on fallen leaves
Third hiker attempts the climb up the rocky face of the ledge
Another successful climb.
Looking at the massive boulders ahead on the trail.
Is Randy being eaten by a rock monster?
Have some fun and be a kid again.
The rock fissure is wide
Close up of some of the rocks along the trail
Massive boulders
Hard to show just how huge these boulders are
A crack in the massive boulder allowed trees to grow between
A view from below
The boulders are huge but fun to explore
A split in the rock gave a place for a tree to grow
The boulders are massive
The trail lives up to it's name.
Just a small boulder or a giant?
Smaller boulders alongside the trail
