Rattlesnake Cobble Climbing

Park a block or so from town near the cemetery or power plant / plow turnaround at the end of Birch Ave, or before the locked gate in the off season.

Continue up the Veterans Memorial Highway on foot; Turn right on jeep trail right before the "pedestrians prohibited" sign.

Go down and over the stream bridge, past and behind the better of the stone structures on your right (do not go left and up, nor right and down).

Find and follow jeep trail uphill to a T, move left and higher up the curving jeep trail with the ravine and creek eventually on your left to the top and continue that heading along the stream bed past the stone structure at the top of the stream.

Turn right at the bullet-riddled jeep full of beer cans and keep going past the old truck seat leaning up against a tree...

Continue uphill and along the coyote ridge ending at the Camp Kitchen and Ark boulders (below the Stoddard's Retreat). Continue past the couloir to the Gold Mine boulders.

Update 2022, wife noted it may be exactly 1 mile from the gate on the veteran's memorial highway to the ark boulder.
