Description

This is the middle sector of the Knob Hill Area and is pretty much south-facing, so a good spot on sunny colder days.

Getting There

Approach this area by hiking east from the Tom's Thumb Trailhead on the Marcus Landslide Trail for about 1/2 a mile. Take the Rock Knob Trail and continue east on that for another 1/2 mile. Just after you pass through the gate leading into McDowell Mountain Regional Park start looking for a good approach to the crag. This one isn't as high on the hill as the western area and the eastern area.
