Description Suggest change

Hidden up in the trees, you will find a temple of orange rock. Slabby face climbs lead to a large ledge to top out on. Capped by a big roof. Do you have what it takes to sit atop the throne??

Getting There Suggest change

Start at the 42nd Street parking lot. Head west down the main Buttermilk Trail. (Take a left.) Take the stone steps or the ramp/footbridge on the right. The loop trail splits off to the left, known as the Quarry Loop trail. The temple is hidden in the woods west of the loop trail.

A tree has fallen across the original access trail. There is a shortcut trail about 10 paces past the Quarry Loop/Buttermilk Trail sign in the photo. It's on the left as you approach from the 42nd Street parking lot.
