This 15-mile hiking trail is located in the heart of the state's rugged backcountry, offering unparalleled views of the Granite Tors - a series of massive granite formations that rise dramatically from the surrounding wilderness. The tors formed millions of years ago when molten rock pushed upward and cooled before it reached the earth’s surface. The soil of the surrounding earth slowly eroded, exposing the less erodible rock pinnacles.
