Map:"The property line runs from approximately the current east corner by the access gate in a straight line over the top of South Rock to the top middle of the Chicken Heads/Mosaic Wall mount, and from there west down the mount slope to the meadow just south of the Alley climbs. Some of the most popular routes are completely on private property. There are survey markers on the top of South rock (the mysterious aluminum stake stuck in the rock) and on top of the Mosaic rock (most of the time buried in water in a pot hole.) The red line shows approximate boundry." as quoted from Jan Studebaker

USGS Topo Map for area. Hard to say if this independent map confirms the description of boundaries. This is the same as the map available at the ranger station. According to this, the boundary is closer to the base of Mosaic Rock. Regardless, private and public property is to be respected.

From top of West Rock 2 looking south east. over West Rock, Mosaic and South Rock.
Here's the gate in the parking area. There are 2 trails, 1 on private land and 1 on public. The private land trail takes you directly to the base of Mosaic Rock in only .1 miles
Another view from the parking area.
