Access Issue: stay on marked trail once leave Mint Springs Boundary. Acceptable to hike to plane wreckage as long as remain close to well worn trail.
Details
Once pass under power wires you are technically off Mint Springs territory and the trail meanders through several property areas along the slopes of Buck's Elbow Mountain. The landowners have allowed the trail to the wreckage to be marked with orange surveying tape. Stay close to trail that leads to plane and don't wander too far from plane crash site. Small crag is right next to the plane wreckage.
Description
Right next to the remnants of Flight 349 is a small crag with some highball bouldering options.
Do not wander far from trail or plane site/rocks.
I'd recommend avoiding this area during hunting season, as it is not within park boundaries.
