Rita takes her place on hands and knees, surrounded by a bountiful pile of stones, as part of one of the famous Dambo's visionary projects. Rita is one of his 119 trolls that have found their way into hearts around the world.
From the parking lot, take the short trail between the old mine shaft and the blacksmith shop. There is a sign marked “TRAIL” that takes you between the two areas. If you’re curious about history, take a gander at the signs sharing history of the area.
Nestled at the trailhead of Little Grouse Mountain, there's Rita!
