The Moore's Knob Fire Tower and the cliffs surrounding it are the reason you huff and puff yourself vertically nearly 800-feet to an elevation of 2572-feet.
From the observation platform of the fire tower, you get a spectacular 360-degree view.
On the same rock to the right of the people with the husky dog, Aaron is doing his "on-top-of-the-world" pose.
We pass through some boulders on our way to the knob.
As we neared the top, the climb on the Moore's Wall Trail became steeper and rockier.
Part of the trail followed near a stream, and this boardwalk went through its flood plain.
I keep Gypsy near me at all times around the cliffs.
This is called Balanced Rock. It looks like a teeter totter. Aaron climbs on everything, and there he is to the right.
Aaron is taking a rest by laying down in this small cave. We have been hiking steadily uphill for nearly an hour.
Gypsy may be my dog, but she sure loves her little boy and does not like him getting out of her sight on our hikes.
We wish sometimes we could be like Gypsy and take a refreshing drink from a mountain stream. If we purchase that Life Straw from the backpacker's catalog then will be able to.
Some of the many views you'll see. We spent about an hour on top of Moore's Knob. This is the highest point in the Sauratowns.
The Moore's Wall Trail begins from one side of the campground and end at the other. Aaron decides to call his mom to let her know what an exciting time he had with his dad at Hanging Rock State Park. He picked an appropriate place to call on his cell phone.
