Enchanted Trail

The Enchanted Trail. When I walked up, I said I'm here to see the
Wizard. They said this ain't the Yellow Brick Road. They have no
sense of humor.

Early path

The early path. My Mom would love this place!

Nativity scene

Rock City puts on a Christmas display closing at 4pm each day
and reopening with a full lights display at 6pm. You will see many of
the setups along the way.

Narrow passage

First narrow passage. This Rock City was the creation of the previous
owners. It was their personal rock garden. I'm sure they didn't move
most of the rocks but developed the path between them.

Stone path

Nice stone paths lead you everywhere.

Deer Park

I swear these look like sheep.

Gnomes Overpass
