Cleopatra's Needle is a landmark rock formation that sticks out of the bluffs towards Devil's Lake. This is a great place to stop for a photo op and to admire the dramatic scenery.

The trail starts in the trees and turns into a rocky ascent up a talus field with views of the bluff. This is a fairly technical way to descend, but if you like steep climbs or want to practice your power hiking this is a great way up the bluff.

Along the water you will find a narrow paved track that winds between the rocks along the west side of Devil's Lake. You get fantastic views out across the water and up to the bluffs above.

With the right angle and a little bit of imagination, you can see how this spot got its name, as the rock formation resembles an elephant lying down. Plus, the views of Spirit Lake from this area are truly breathtaking. This formation is also known as Bison Rock.

From here you get great views off the bluffs across a protected oak forest to South Bluff beyond. The rock formations are unique and crumble into a steep talus field below the trail.
