Big Rock is to the right. This is from the approach from Fredericksburg. (Photo by kcameron)
Little Rock
This is Little Rock, which is just west of Big Rock. Notice the trail in the foreground weaving through the trees. (Photo by kcameron)
Loose Rocks
This area between Big Rock and Little Rock looks like a rock pile. (Photo by kcameron)
Balacing Rock
There are numerous interesting rock formations in the park, such as this one. (Photo by kcameron)
Jutting Rock
Here is another interesting rock formation. Notice the rock near the bottom of the picture that appears to jut upward. The plates of rock look as though they could slide off at any moment. (Photo by kcameron)
Buzzards
Although this is Big Rock and not the mountain known as "Buzzard's Roost", if you look closely near the center of the picture, you will see 2 buzzards with their wings spread and others simply roosting in the morning sun. (Photo by kcameron)
Hikers on the Summit

Looking back
Looking down the trail from near the top. The rock looks barren here, but that's not the case elsewhere. (Photo by Austin Explorer)
