Description

A beautiful boulder and small exposed vertical wall right across the creek from the bike path. Both can be seen before crossing the bridge if you are walking near the creek on the bike path. Seems like a secluded spot but there are always people across the creek walking around or biking on the path.

Getting There

The approach is about a 5-7 minute hike from the parking lot. Walk 3-5 minutes to the first bridge and make a sharp left. You can immediately stay close to the creek and walk along the shoreline but if you are carrying the crash pad I'd recommend taking the walking trail slightly uphill for the next 350-400ft. Find the large exposed rock face on the left and carefully walk downhill all the way to the creek. The boulder called The Plank will be on the left and the Wavey Wall face will be on the right.
