Cheese and Bible Rocks are gigantic sandstone formations in the Teanaway Community Forest with expansive views of the Teanaway Valley, Mount Stuart and the Enchantment Range.  Trail involves old logging roads, minimally maintained old tracks and some off trail hiking (if we choose to circumnavigate Bible Rock).
We'll hike at a steady pace staying together with time to explore Cheese and Bible Rocks as well as other large slabs along the way.
