Description
For lazier boulderer - a small trailside area before Underqueen boulder. 1 prime boulder, the Overking boulder, and many slabs.
Getting There
Same as Underqueen boulder but closer! Only 5-7 minutes from nearest parking:
From the trailhead parking area, continue on a rough dirt road (high-clearance vehicle advised if not walking this section, but not strictly necessary), taking your first left past the gate.
From here, stay on the main dirt road, passing at least one left-hand turn (do not turn here) and park at an obvious pullout about 0.6 miles in.
At this point, you can use a high-clearance vehicle to drive in about 100 yards more if you want to; either way, take a rutted-out (often muddy) road left from the parking pullout to a large meadow.
Skirt along the left side of the meadow, following an obvious trail west, across a creek and up and down a little and you'll start finding boulders. Stay on the trail at all times, the trail definitely leads to the boulders.
The slabs are scattered on both sides of the trail. Overking boulder is on the rightside of the trail about 15 feet from the trail. If you reach Underqueen boulder, you have gone way too far.
