"No Exit" sign is a parking lot at the north end of the road. Your
hike begins as you step into the forest. Turn right on to the white
blazed trail. Follow the main trail through mature forest for about
1.5 km before you will notice the blue blazed sign for the 200 ft
long Singhampton Side Trail on the left. You follow the side trail
until you come to the main trail.
Option A - Easier You turn
left on to the white blazed trail, which follows the top of the
escarpment and you will see the large crevices of the Standing Rock

Option B - Tougher You turn
right on the white blazed trail and you descend through a cut in
the cliff and drop steeply to a stream at the base of the
escarpment. There you will see a blue blazed Side Trail sign for the
700 m long Standing Rock and Caves Side Trail. Soon you will enter
the rock crevices and climb large boulders up the escarpment, where
you rejoin the Main Trail. Here you keep to the right and in 500m
you are back to the parking lot. |
