Description Suggest change

County Seat is a cool, little cluster of boulders and exposed ridge of bulletproof Dakota Sandstone that’s slightly overhanging on the west and Flatiron-esque on the east. The climbs here tend to be on the easy or hard ends of the spectrum with very little in between.

About 200’ south on the ridge where the stone pokes up again are a couple more tiny boulder problems.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike in from T-Rex parking lot on the ridge trail.
