Big Rock is to the right. This is from the approach from Fredericksburg. (Photo by kcameron)

This is Little Rock, which is just west of Big Rock. Notice the trail in the foreground weaving through the trees. (Photo by kcameron)

This area between Big Rock and Little Rock looks like a rock pile. (Photo by kcameron)

There are numerous interesting rock formations in the park, such as this one. (Photo by kcameron)

Here is another interesting rock formation. Notice the rock near the bottom of the picture that appears to jut upward. The plates of rock look as though they could slide off at any moment. (Photo by kcameron)

Although this is Big Rock and not the mountain known as "Buzzard's Roost", if you look closely near the center of the picture, you will see 2 buzzards with their wings spread and others simply roosting in the morning sun. (Photo by kcameron)
