This is not a state park, just a small but stunning natural area.
Soon you'll find yourself near the rocky cliffs.
But don't worry, you've got plenty of time to enjoy it.
A pedestrian bridge allows you a glimpse from over the top.
If you choose to explore the paths, however, use caution near the edges.
On a good day, you'll be able to spot plenty of surfers in the water.
It's also open to visitors, so check it out the next time you need to be near nature.
Many (many) years ago it was possible to jump across the chasm, but those days are long gone — it expands bit by bit every year. Have you ever been to Purgatory Chasm?
