Description

Okay, so this area only has two listed boulders in it... but it is right in-between Pyramid and Contrast Areas and I think it can stand alone here. Also the Sail Boulder will make the third if someone is burly and ambitious enough to put something up...

Getting There

Walk past the Pyramid Area and keep watch to the right side of the trail towards the creek. As the trail make a slight bend you will see the top of a steep boulder. This is Shadowcast. Up and to the left is a smaller, nothing looking boulder on the hill. Once you get up there it is actully pretty cool (Tulip Boulder). If you are feeling strong and ambitious, head on up the hill and look for the blank, small block in the drainage. This is the Sail Boulder.
