*Public Access*

To access the Slick Rock Gardens Bouldering area, you must first access the Buddha Wall area. You can save time by taking the Royal Gorge Ranch and Resort trail split from Made in the Shade trail, to the road within the resort. From here, head northwest on the road to a trail at the bottom of the hill. Take this trail until it splits right over a large hill. Stay on this trail to the Buddha Wall (roughly 2 miles each way). From here, make your way to the west end of the Buddha Wall, and follow the trail down to the creek bed and up the hill to the north. From here, follow the trail to a fork, and head right. If you have trouble, follow the coordinates below.
