Bilger’s Rocks
September 5, 2023Bilger’s Rocks are giant boulder outcroppings set amongst the woods outside the tiny borough of Grampian, Pennsylvania. The sandstone formations are preserved and celebrated by the Bilger’s Rocks Association and were once used for shelter by Native Americans. The natural area includes caves, cliffs, passageways, and other unusual features to explore.
Stepping into Bilger’s Rocks is a bit like stepping into a lost world. The rock walls tower above you, trees cling to rocks, and small passages filled with moss lead to hidden chambers. Even while among the massive boulders, a sense of calm and serenity overtakes you.
“Leave the road, take the trails.”
