Beautiful walk but the trails are not well marked and you could be in for a longer walk than you intended. Don't foget the sunscreen and water. More

Bell Rock is just stunning. My husband and I did this hike after hiking Cathedral Rock and The Grand Canyon and I was not sure anything was going to top those two. This was great. Much easier hike than Cathedral. At one point we lost the trail so we made our own. The views were fantastic. We have read reviews... More

I'm sure I felt the pull of the vortex but my husband thought it was all nonsense so no mystical experience ensued. A well-trodden path. Impressive to look at from a distance and close up. More

I went walking around and up Bell Rock with my famiy and found it suitable for all ages abilities. The views down the valley were particularly stunning. Take water and wear sensible shoes as it can get hot quickly and the rocks can be steep at times. More

This is one of a few trails that interlock. We could've spent all day just doing loops around all the rocks. You can follow a path and climb part way up Bell Rock. This trail is very easy to find, just off the highway and well marked. More

Everything liked except people leaving their trash. I have been coming here for over 40 years - trash is a real problem everywhere. More
