Thunder Rocks, Rock City Allegany State Park

This area is very cool, I've seen pictures from friends here in the winter on snowmobiles and wanted to check it out. These are some huge rocks in a configuration that makes you think someone stacked them there. This is a great photo opportunity area. We walked back a long ways until we came to what appeared to be a service road, there are a lot of rocks deep into the woods. It was very buggy when we stopped there, be sure to bring bug spray and/or long sleeves and pants. Make sure you read the information board at the parking lot filling you in on the history of the area! Also, the dirt road there is VERY bumpy. My truck was bouncing through holes getting there.

Nice for a quick visit and some photos. Not really a hiking place, but certainly a beautiful consequence of ancient glaciers. Beware of the dirt road that leads up to the rocks parking area - don't drive too fast if your car has low ground clearance.

Great place to go for a hike and family pictures. Unfortunately other campers leave garbage and other trash.

A really neat spot where a glacier had deposited huge boulders. Excellent hiking and photo opportunities.
