No Idea Why It is called Hall of Horrors

A walk among these beautiful rocks and the first question that came to mind is Why they named it Hall of Horrors. The area is beautiful and the stroll trough the rocks is an easy one.

Nothing Horrific about it.

The name is probably associated with the rock climbing that goes on here. Apart from that its a bunch of huge rocks that you can scramble in and around.

Walk Among The Boulders

Lot's of big rocks/boulders, but nothing horrifying here. It's nature at it's finest so bring a camera!

Missing the Wow Factor

If you are a rock climber, maybe you can see the wow factor here. I didn't see much difference in this rock formation vs. others in the park.

This area is for rock climbers

We stopped at the Hall of Horrors thinking we would find the Skull Rock formation but discovered this area is for rock climbers. Several areas with well marked paths. We aren't climbers so just walked by the large boulders and used the restroom facility and...More
