Not a hike really, but really fun climbing and exploring the rocks! It was really windy!

It was VERY windy when we decided to hike up the rock, but going up is kinda part of the experience. Had we decided to stay down and just photograph and gawk, we would have been robbed of another stunning perspective from the top. Careful, though, loose shake makes for a treacherous walk up, although short. Don't bring old dogs.

This is a fun, quick stop with a short hike and opportunities to explore around Balanced Rock. I was disappointed with the amount of graffiti in the area, but the rock itself was spectacular and a good subject for photography. This isn’t a day destination, more just a quick stop and look.

It’s a bit out of the way to anywhere in particular. We were heading up to Boise from Utah and decided to take a little detour to check it out. The rock itself is just off of the road (appropriately named “Balanced Rock Road”) and can be seen easily from there. There’s a pull off area and it’s a short little hike (hike may be an overstatement) up to the rock itself. Only up close do you really get a feel for the size of the boulder, it really is massive and very impressive. After the climb, to get right up to the base you need to scramble up some rock. We went in January so there was some snow and a bit of a drizzle which made the rock pretty slick. I would recommend some good shoes and a lot of caution to climb up right to the base. That may not be the best for kids in my opinion.

If you're looking for a fun little day trip, this is perfect! There's a nice gravel pull off right below the rock. It's a short incline, clean trail right to the rock. Makes for a fun picture!
