Find out the connection between the Integratron and Giant Rock. It’s one heck of a story. Besides a great place to hike around, it’s also a great place if you have all-terrain vehicles. Once a native spiritual site, It now draws many ufo fans because of the famous man who lived there , George Von Tassel.
