Balanced Rock + Rainbow Falls
Balanced Rock and Rainbow Falls is a photo-worthy stop. It includes a short, beginner hike featuring gorgeous views, waterfalls, and a suspension bridge! It is a .5 mile hike to Balanced Rock and passes along Rainbow Falls along the way. The out and back trail starts at Trough Creek Drive. It passes over Great Trough Creek via a suspension bridge then past beautiful Rainbow Falls. The trail ascends a flight of CCC-built stone steps overlooking Abbot Run and ends at the geologic wonder, Balanced Rock.
