Description

These are a collection of large boulders that are beyond the Tweedy Bird rock on top of the hill. Most of the climbs here will require at least two spotters and three pads for a safe ascent.

The boulder in the area range from nestled in the bushes and shady, to sitting in barren wash basins which are all day sun and very hot.

Getting There

After the 1st water crossing drive up the hill and pass the Chinaberry camp ground. pass one paved parking area and the second paved pullout parking area has a tree in the middle of it and a picnic table at the back, park here.
Across the street is a hill with a rock atop that is in the shape of a tweedy bird, hike past the rock and into the valley beyond for the boulders.
