Description

Generally shaded. Landings tend to be on a down slope, so best come with an active spotter. Tops will need cleaning and there is more to be cleaned than posted on MP.

Getting There

Once parked, head toward bridge behind the pavilion. Go across the bridge that goes over Prairie Creek and continue straight until you come to a "T" in the mowed trailed directly in front of the treeline and you should see a sign that reads, "Hiking Club Trail." This is the orange trail on the map. Go left and continue until you start seeing the rock lines on your right and the creek on your left starts to behind like a horseshoe. This is the main area thus far. There are small, faint trails travsing the cliff lines, which will lead you up to the boulder problems.
