Description

The sizeable boulder sits close to the road and features three problems on less than ideal rock (grainy and somewhat loose). All of the problems here are likely a "bomb" to most but in all fairness the problems are somewhat new and more traffic will certainly help to improve the quality.

Getting There

Drive approximately 0.4 miles into the park from the Entrance Station and park at the first paved pullout on the right (west) side of the road (as Lonely Stones (1)). Hike west about 150 yards along a faint trail to the obvious boulder which sits next to an equestrian trail. The approach takes about 3 minutes.
