Description 

This is the zone below CR 304 and in the vicinity of the Barbara Whipple Trail system. Most boulders are a 2-10 minute approach from the footbridge.

Getting There 

Turn at the one traffic light on highway 24 in Buena Vista onto East Main Street. Head east through one stop sign, away from the collegiate peaks.

The bridge is right there.
