This outdoor rock climbing excursion location beckons to novice and advanced climbers - and kids will have a blast scampering around on lower granite outcroppings. These rock formations lend themselves to casual climbing but experienced climbers should bring their gear. A great place to introduce kids to the concept of rock climbing outside the gym!
