Most photography points are located close to the main trail and viewpoints.

What to See & Do

  • 📸 Capture the “tiny human” perspective 🚶 by shooting from the rock face opposite the plateau 🏔️
  • 🦅 Explore the Upper Viewpoint ⛰️ for a panoramic “top-down” shot of the iconic square rock 🏁

  • 💎 Focus on detail shots 🔍 of the deep geological cracks and rugged granite formations 🏔️
  • 🌓 Experiment with light and shadow 🌗 as the mountain silhouettes shift throughout the day 🌄

How to Get There

  • 🥾 Reach all key vantage points 👣 via the well-marked 8km round-trip hiking trail 🚩
