Description

Second closest to the trailhead. The "swath" is where all the trees were cut down for the electric power line. So the rocks are out in the open in the sunshine.

includes High Electricity, Whetstone

Getting There

From the main trailhead hike N gentle uphill on the dirt road about 1000 feet to a junction with another dirt road. Turn sharp Left and go WSW about 500 feet to a fork in the road. The Swath rocks are above and right from the right fork road (which is the Boulder Road). To find your problems, either head right uphill directly from the fork intersection, or first hike up steep on the right fork dirt road and soon exit right off that.
