Balanced precariously on a pillar of sandstone, stands Devil's Standtable in Giant City State Park. Pictured here from the back, it shows how high off the ground it is. Compared to the trees in the background it stands nearly three quarters as tall as some of the trees.
Years and years of erosion formed this monument. Erosion ate away the soft layers of rock, carving out the giant gap between the cliff and Devil's Standtable. For the adventurous soul, it offers a leap of faith and the defying of gravity if you wish to stand on top of it. In the right of my picture you can barely see another ledge jutting out closer to it. That is where you can make the leap. I have never done it before, but I have seen others make the yard long jump.
Don't feel pressured into making the leap. You can enjoy the breathtaking view safely on top of the cliff without having to worry about falling. The view from being above the forest floor is beautiful and satisfying.
