Description

At the end of Lost Horse Road, where the public dare not drive, lies the Ranger Station. High above the Ranger Station lies the aptly named Ranger Station Rock. Home to a presidential cleft and a heroic figure, as well as a slew of other routes.

Getting There

Park at the last publicly accessible pullout on Lost Horse Road, the same pullout used for Super Heroes/Atlantis/Jimmy Cliff et. al. Walk down the dirt road to the Ranger Station. Walk right around the building to a fairly good use trail up the boulder field.
