7.5-mile, 2,236-foot elevation gain hike with wonderful views of the pinnacle rock formations that give the park its name. We chose to take the “Steep and Narrow” section of the High Peaks Trail, which led us through narrow passageways, and up and over steep rock formations, with near-vertical drop-offs just off to side. Fortunately, in the more precarious sections there were steps cut into the rock to form staircases and handrails to grip onto.
