BETA PHOTO: The Gnome Boulder

Description 

This 12' boulder is about 300 feet away from the Lost Boulder, on the other side of the trail. As you approach you will be seeing the slabby side previously cleaned, but again completely covered with lichen. Around to the left the boulder steepens to just off vertical and it is not so fuzzy. Not quite the same quality as the Lost Boulder, but there are a few good routes on it so you can fill out your day.

Getting There 

Park and hike in just like you are going to the Lost Boulder. Maybe 50 feet before the Lost boulder break left off the trail and head into the woods a couple hundred feet.
