Elephant Rocks, Anybody Been?

Post by young'n climber »

I keep hearing more and more about Elephant Rocks State Park in Missouri, and I might head down there in a few weeks. Has anyone taken a trip there in the past? And if so, whats the camping situation, are their any guidebooks out there for it besides Dr. Topo, and hows the climbing!

I heard they tied up punk kids there. :wink:

Actually a friend of mine just went there while visiting home. He said it was awesome, but I don't really have any answers to the questions you asked.

it's ok..the rock tends to be sharp....crystalline of sorts. instead of going that far, hit the holy boulders in so.Il..still not a major destination, but dang good.

depending on where you are driving from, HP and rocktown blow elephant rocks away.

Hi, Punk! :P
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Once I heard of this place called the Red River Gorge. Might be overrated, but maybe you could check it out for us.

There is an out of print guidebook, but I can't remember the name of it. It was something like "Metamorphic Forms". It had rock climbing, moutain biking, hiking, etc. Maybe try a google search for it.
