Totally worth the hike in. One of my favorite places to be inspired. The Rock House will not disappoint. Cavernous and usually cool and damp inside the natural structure. I never miss a chance to visit.
The only negative part of the whole experience was observing two people dangerously climbing around in areas of the trail that were blatenly marked as “danger, not a trail” in areas where they posed a danger to themselves as well as others in the vicinity. Luckily no injuries occurred, but it was a nerve wracking experience.
Wow, what an experience. At first we almost made the rookie mistake of parking in the bottom parking lot, but make sure to keep driving on up the path for the ideal experience.
A very cool place to see and walk around within. One can imagine natives finding this a great place to call home. Great trails to hike with lots of beautiful sights to see.
The trail overall is manageable and fairly short with great views. Fences were strategically placed during the path of descent towards the rock house formation, which was appreciated as our group is extremely safety conscious. Once we navigated our way down to the rock house formation, we were blown away by how large the chamber of the rock house was. Wow, what an achievement by the native Americans for carving such elegant protection from the elements especially given primitive tools. Even signs and a stone wall were created before the tribe moved on. Talk about a feeling of being transported back in history!
Overall great experience. We will definitely return at some point but it’s hard to say when we will be able to find the availability to come back sometime within the next 1-30 years.
Awesome cave with a lot of nocks and crannies and views out into the park, right next to a waterfall.
This is the only true cave in the region. It doesn't even resemble what most people think of as a cave. It's a large tunnel on the side of a hill pretty much but it's still an interesting thing to look at and go inside. The hike to the cave isn't very long or difficult. There is parking and a latrine at the trail head an was easy to get to.
Once you’re finished at the rock house, you can continue in a loop back to the parking lot, or turn around and climb back the same way you used to get there. This was the most challenging part of the experience for my group and we would like to suggest the possible addition of an elevator or stair assist system be added to the trail for those that may not be able to handle the uphill climb.
