Description

This large boulder, which may or may not look like a pork chop, is home to a solitary problem on it's northwest face.

Not really a part of the Lonely Stones but it's close proximity and the fact you pass by this boulder on the way to and from the Lonely Stones makes sense to group it with them.

Getting There

Park in a paved turnout 0.4 miles from the West Entrance Station and hike around the left side of the first large formation on the left until the boulder comes into view; the approach takes ten minutes or less.
