Rimrock

On Saturday, we visited an area called Rimrock Overlook. (And yes, the name makes me snicker.)





To access Rimrock, you drive and drive (and drive some more) up a steep curvy hill.





Once you reach the parking area, you're high above the Allegheny Reservoir. It's a beautiful sight, but we love the overlook itself even more.


The area has a lot of modern improvments, like nice wooden stairs down to the actual overlook itself.


The kids call this place "The Castle." It's stone, and parts of it are carved right into the cliff itself.











Our favorite thing about Rimrock has to be the stone staircases that lead to the base of the cliff.







Be careful...it's a little slippery!









We spent about an hour exploring and climbing on boulders. And there's only one problem with Rimrock: once you climb down, you have to climb back up again.
