The fins proper has 4 or 5 good thin boulders with problems ranging from easy to moderate. It is mostly conglomerate rock. Pretty rough to the touch. This area is on the border of park property. There are some boulders downhill from this area too, but they are on private property.

Getting There Suggest change

If you park on High Rock Lane, near the Ridgewood trailhead, hike uphill on the yellow trail. Follow the yellow trail about half a mile and turn right and cross the creek to the rock outcroppings. There will be some boulders to your left before crossing, this is the western tower , Nähe Fins,area.

From the gravel lot atop Rocky Ridge, take the red trail to the yellow trail and follow it downhill along the creek. The red trail is a mountain biking trail and is a bit windy. Aprox. 1.2 miles of hiking

From the grey squirrel pavilion lot, head east and find the yellow trail. Follow the creek down hill. Aprox. 1 mile of hiking. Note the yellow trail does link up with the lots southwest corner also, this takes you out of your way.
