Description

This is a loose crag with lots of poison ivy at the base. In the 1980s, the gas station just outside (west of) the park boundary was called Earl's Gas, hence the name of the cliff.

Getting There

This cliff is located near the west (Pringle side) boundary of the national park along Highway 385. The crag can be seen from the road, just south of Highway 385 near the park entrance sign.
