After 20 long minutes of this wandering, we eventually climbed to the top of a tall rock to try to get some perspective. No one else was there when we visited in the late afternoon so calling out to others was futile. It's easy to walk in the complete wrong direction and not really know where you are. All you can see are more and more rock piles. The walking path is set below all the rocks so it's impossible to see the horizon to help locate where you are.

All the rock constellations, while beautiful, look the same after a while and it's nearly impossible to remember if you passed them before (some seemed staged while others are amazingly authentic). With no signs, we soon became disoriented and didn't know which way to go. While it proceeds in a right-hand circle around the site, it also twists and turns all the time. But after a while the signs stopped and the main path branched off to here and there. It starts out fine with a couple of white arrow signs pointing in the right direction. The danger here is that the circular path through the stones is not well marked. A tall brown water tower stands next to it. There's a parking lot with a nice modern toilet. It's located off a gravel road 5 km north of the Quivertree Forest (same entrance fee). So pay special attention to where you are walking until proper signage is posted here.Giant's Playground is a maze of stone piles that seemingly stretches on forever. Not finding the Quivertree Forest entrance gate was frustrating, but getting lost in the Giant's Playground was a more serious issue. Otherwise, there would be better directional signs at both places. It appears to us that the farm owner doesn't really care whether you easily find your way around these two sites or not. Other campers we followed couldn't find it either. It's not marked and we had to drive around the large camping site searching for it (a fence blocks entrance except at the gate). We had trouble locating the entrance gate to the walking path. It's not really a forest but a dense stand of Quivertrees spread around rock hills. The Quivertree Forest is nice and makes for some great photos against the blue sky. This all might sound funny, but it wasn't not knowing where you are with the temperature 36 C. Our guess is that some jokester removed some of the path signs and they have not been replaced. Luckily, we were able to spot the brown water tower off in the distance and walked in that direction to eventually get back to the parking lot.
