I was out at the Godzilla Boulders today and went for a walk to find the Twin Boulders which were supposed to be about 5 mins down the Shaw Trail. The Pawtuckaway Underground guide made it seem like they were right on the trail, but I never saw them.

Anyone have an beta on finding them? The route Pearl Necklace looks cool in the photo's in Pawtuckaway Underground and would be stoked to check it out.

They pretty much are right off the trail. But, they are quite a bit further along than the Godzilla Boulders, if I remember correctly. The harder problem to the left of 'Pearl Necklace' has an obvious glued flake on it. When you reach them, you're getting pretty close to Magic Pond. It's been a while since I've been out there so I don't remember all the details.

Hey there Matt. Probably about 15+ minutes from the Godzilla Boulder. You were probably right around the corner.

Anyhow, no real quick way out there. Mt bike from the boat launch is quickest, or walk for about 30+ minutes. Fundy trail to Shaw Trail. You will come across the Twin Boulders, just beyond that you will come across Split Rock Trail. Take a left on that to the Ivory Tower and boulders on your left and Magic Pond.

The other way is from round pond. Not super Mt. Bike friendly with pads. Take the South Ridge Trail turn left onto the Shaw Trail 10-15 minutes. Follow this for about another 15 - 20 minutes to Split Rock Trail on your right. Pass that and the Twin Boulders are on your left on the trail.

And the 3rd way. Go over South Mt. (Fire Tower), head south east passing through Area 51, and various boulders as you work your way to the Ivory Tower, Magic Pond, Twin Boulders, Fisherman Boulder, and then Blair. Don't forget your lunch, water, and that awesome car spot. Enjoy.

Thanks guys, seems like I stopped just short when walking out for the Godzilla Boulders!
