Description

This huge flake set into the ground lies at the northwest side of the massive Beaver Boulder on the north side of Cap Rock.

You'll often find a shrine to Gram Parsons right below the right end of the namesake flake.

Getting There

From the northwest end of the parking lot (near the Parking Lot Crank boulder problem at the base of Cap Rock's south face) head north along the west side of Cap Rock until the massive Beaver Boulder comes into view.

Continue along to the northwest corner of the Beaver Boulder where you'll find this jagged flake/boulder.
