    Hiking

    As you enjoy your trek, you will encounter granite formations that are fascinating, and offer broad views toward Big Lake and the Blue Range. These formations happen when viscous (thick/sticky) magma slowly cools and crystallizes, way before it is able to reach the Earth’s surface. Then, with erosion, you are left with these curious features.
