Description

The least explored portion of Palo Duro Canyon, but possibly holds the most potential as far as bouldering goes. Majority of the rock quality is superb and the formations are spectacular.

Getting There

Apon entering the Canyon follow the road all the way past the 6th water crossing. You'll come to a portion of the road that continues to bend around the back of the canyon. Exit left into parking lot with metal horse stalls. There will be a tiny trail to your left that will go on for at least a mile and half, portions of it follow the small river. Once you hit the dry river bed take a left and follow it until you see a rock cairn. You'll know when you're there!
