Getting There

Head east out of Custer on highway 16A for about 2 miles. When you start to see Calamity Peak (huge rock formation) to your left, you're almost there. When you are about parallel with this formation on highway 16A, you should see a road sign for AMERICAN CENTER ROAD; turn left onto this road. After a short distance (~.3mi), there will be a small intersection that you will take a left turn at.Stay on this road for just over a mile (1.1mi), around a couple of curves and houses. When you get to the intersection between American Center Road and Outlaw Ranch Road, you will see a sign to your right for Outlaw Ranch. Turn right here and park immediately. The boulders are up and to your left on the hill; there is a slight path going up to them, but nothing established. Please respect this area.
