    Hiking

    A fascinating geological find where two large boulders create a tight squeeze. Its name originates from the size of the narrow passage, and as you may have guessed it, making it impossible for a fat man to fit through. Once you navigate this point, you'll be rewarded with a pleasant resting area to enjoy.

    Fat Man's Pass is a fun spot to visit in South Mountain Preserve. There are actually some pretty good views from this area, but the highlight of the spot is walking between the tight rock walls. The story holds that only a fat man will get stuck between the rocks.
