Description Suggest change

This area has a good group of 40-50ft routes that can keep you entertained for the better part of a day. All of the routes have anchors at the top or you can walk off the West side. Most routes can be top roped with a little work. It is sunny in the morning and shady after noon.

Getting There Suggest change

It’s a little strange finding this area your first time. You can get to it from either the East or West parking areas by taking the Boulders North trail for about 1.5 miles. It’s roughly the same distance from either one of the parking areas to the crag trail. Watch for a stack of rocks and logs marking the trail to the crag on the south side of the Boulders North trail. Once you have found the rocks follow this crag trail to the east wall of the Joint.
