Sunset Rock
This is an astonishing site, just a few hundred yards from downtown. Take Main Street for half a mile east until the Nature Center is on the left. Park on the gravel on the right side of the road. Sunset Rock is an ideal choice for a late afternoon stroll. It’s a short half-mile walk to the top. Beautiful sunsets can be seen over the town, while you sit on a natural amphitheater on slabs of granite. Some people will tell you that you can drive to the summit. This is good advice if you don’t mind that your vehicle could (almost certainly will) sustain a broken axle. Trust us – walk to the top.
