Description Suggest change

The area is home to some of the finest boulders on Nine Mile Hill. The rock quality is varied, but many of the boulders are high quality. Private property lines the west side of the area. Please be respectful of our neighbor.

Getting There Suggest change

The area lies at the first bend after crossing the East Creek, up the hill. A small dirt track that leaves the main gravel road is ideal for parking.
