Description

Large boulder with a diagonal crack running through it. Maybe potential for another route up it, but the crack is the main draw.
I'm not sure of the real name of this but I'm sure it's drawn many before me. I found this wandering around on the way to Springfield. Figured I was in for a chill day walking the trail and scouting boulders in my flipflops. The area around this boulder (and much of the trail) is littered with thistle. I'll be picking little needles out of my toes for days!

Getting There

About 1,000 feet past the Asteroid you'll see a large but not super tall boulder to your right about 50 feet off the trail, just over the wash. Stand next to that boulder and you can see this large cracked boulder off to the Northeast 150ft or so.
