Description

Ryan Campground and the surrounding area is home to a decent collection of boulder problems with some problems located within the campground itself and others scattered near the base of Headstone Rock. The popular Stonehenge Boulders is also nearby and easily approached from here.

Problems of interest within the campground itself include Gibbs Arete (V0), Flight Attendant (V4), Ryan Roof Problem (V5) and Dreaming of the Master (V8).

Notable problems near Headstone Rock include Riff Raff (V0-), the Fidelman Arete (V1), Figure Five (V2), Facet Cut (V4) and Chili Sauce (aka Moffat Problem) (V7).

Getting There

Ryan Campground is located 2.3 miles from Hidden Valley Campground and offers limited day-use parking in several locations. An option to consider, if no day-use parking is available within the campground itself, is to park at the large paved turnout (with restrooms) just past the Ryan Campground turn-off and walk in. Note: no day-use parking is allowed in designated campsites or along the entrance road to the campground - you will be ticketed.
