Description Suggest change

This area is UFO themed, and reasonably so. The largest main bloc, the UFO boulder is otherworldly. It is also the site of the most impressive landing construction project I have, personally, ever seen. Really incredible stuff.

Getting There Suggest change

Bear left at the fork once you reach the top of the hill, and drive to the west, left down the two track until you see a fence ahead (DO not go through this fence, private property). There will be a faint parking spot on the right for maybe 2-3 trucks. Walk another 30 feet towards the fence, then straight up a well worn trail to UFO. All other boulders in this area are most easily referenced in relation to the position of UFO boulder.
