If I had my say, this would be called Picnic Rock. I’ve always loved the idea of sitting on these prehistoric boulders to grab a quick bite to eat, enjoying nature and being surrounded by history. The view is incredible, and after you’ve finished your meal you can climb around the rocks, read the informational tablet, and check out the flank marker that I never even noticed in all the years I’ve been visiting Devil’s Den. :-)
