BALANCED ROCK |
Balanced Rock is a cool attraction located just outside the town of Buhl. Bring good directions, as I remember it taking a lot of turns to get here from the I-84 freeway. There is large dirt pull-out located just below Balanced Rock, and it is only about a quarter-mile uphill scramble to its base. There is a spider web of trails leading to Balanced Rock from the parking area, so you can pick the one that looks best to you. After visiting Balanced Rock you will want to visit Balanced Rock Park, located just a half-mile east of the parking area. This is a really nice park with grass, picnic tables and swing sets located in a canyon along a stream. It is a bit of an oasis within the surrounding desert.
