CLOSED: Forestry Closure Update - FULL WEST SIDE CLOSURE begins 12/11.
The west side of the park will be completely closed for forest health mitigation until further notice (~mid-2024, weather-dependent). The west trailhead parking lot will remain open for access to the south. Trails impacted by closure: Mountain Muhly Trail, Bearberry Trail, Homestead Trail, Silver Fox Trail, Ponderosa Trail, and the majority of Sisters Trail. 2023 ALD Forestry - a map of the Second Segment Closure (PDF) can be found through the link above.
The eastern side of the park and trailhead have reopened following completed forestry work in that area.
Description
Roughly 3-5 boulders clustered together on the hill side, there is a cross/ plaque on one of the trees at the top of one of the boulders, some kid died up there I guess.. I would guess from a lion as I have seen carcasses in the area. Stay alert especially if your alone like I was yesterday.
Getting There
Check out the map I put up on the main page. Stay left from the beginning of the (1st)lot and take The Sister's trail until it T's, go straight off the T and traverse up the hill side a little below the ridge line. Lots of game trails and social trails will eventually lead you there if you take the right network.
[Hide Photo] This is a boulder I haven't ever climbed. It's back west of The Shreader, on the way out to the Energy Crag. There was definitely some chalk on it yesterday though. Post it up if you know what it is.
[Hide Comment] Just so everyone knows These may not be the established names, I am just using the names my friends and I use or that I have heard others say, if nothing else I will make one up as I think it sounds better then random boulder a and boulder b etc. so if you know the name of a boulder or problem leave a comment and I will change it.
