Description
Roughly 3-5 boulders clustered together on the hill side, there is a cross/ plaque on one of the trees at the top of one of the boulders, some kid died up there I guess.. I would guess from a lion as I have seen carcasses in the area. Stay alert especially if your alone like I was yesterday.
Getting There
Check out the map I put up on the main page.
Stay left from the beginning of the (1st)lot and take The Sister's trail until it T's, go straight off the T and traverse up the hill side a little below the ridge line. Lots of game trails and social trails will eventually lead you there if you take the right network.
