Technical climbing, hikes
The birthplace of sport climbing and home to over 1,300 routes, there’s a route for everyone. Even if you don’t climb I recommend hiking misery ridge trail to the top for a beautiful view and a chance to see some insane routes on the way. Make sure to get there early to find parking.
