PhotoPOSTcard: Balanced Rock Viewpoint

Balanced Rock viewpoint

Last Updated on 10/13/20 by Rose Palmer

The balanced rock hiking trail is one of the most popular day hikes in Big Bend National Park, probably because it is fairly easy. The first 9/10 of a mile are level and only the last 2/10 require a scramble up and over rocky terrain. The reward is a lovely view across the desert toward the Chisos mountains through the “window” formed by a very large balancing boulder.

Thanks for visiting
