Description Suggest change

A developing cluster of roadside boulders as well as nearby subareas with face and crack boulders up to V9.

Getting There Suggest change

When driving from Keystone towards Mount Rushmore take the first left turn for Iron Mountain, Hwy 16A. Shortly after passing the Grizzly Bear Creek Campground on the right you'll come to the 1st Pigtail Bridge. Instead of following the spiral road take the bypass road on the right labeled closed. Park towards the top of the bypass and the boulders will be on your left.
