- The Banknote Stacks: The balanced boulders that appeared on the old Zimbabwean currency are the reason most people come. Look for the slab resting on a narrow pedestal and compare it with the note in your wallet.
- The Tallest Balanced Tower: A pile of rounded boulders stacked three or four high, with a small contact point that looks impossible. Walk a full circle, because the silhouette changes from every side.
- Granite Dome Scramble: Low, smooth domes let you climb up for views over the rooftops of Epworth and toward the Harare skyline. Wear shoes with grip, as the rock is slick when damp.
- Sunset Ridge Viewpoint: A broad flat boulder gives a clear outlook over the stacks, ideal for wide photos with the rocks in the foreground.
- Narrow Boulder Passages: Gaps between huge rounded stones form short

- Narrow Boulder Passages: Gaps between huge rounded stones form short natural corridors. They are fun to squeeze through and show how the formations were once a single mass.
- Local Guide Storytelling: Guides from the community explain the spiritual meaning of certain rocks and point out shapes that resemble animals or faces. It adds character you would never get alone.
- Epworth Community Life: Houses, small shops and children playing sit right beside the formations. A slow walk through the lanes shows how residents live with the stones.
