There is a nice faint trail to reach Red Nose Wall from the Ice Age Trail. From the T intersection of the service road hike East past the approach to American Dream Roof and up the hill. Directly before the crest of the hill when it goes from wide road to single track trail there is a pile of rocks and the trail to the top of the wall.
The open boulder field with many vulture droppings is just East of Red Nose Wall.
