Description

[Edit]

This is the long rock running north/south just to the southwest of the Chess & Checkers House in the park. It's located mid-park at 64th street. It makes a convenient stop on the way between Cat Rock and Rat Rock.

You can traverse the full length of the western side of the rock. I've also seen people do a hands-free walk up the southern-most portion of the west face. If you top out on a sunny day you'll have found yourself a nice spot to sit and get some sun.
