Description

Shady, and covered for most of the day. There is also heavy snowfall in the winter making only open in the summer months. Scrubbing of some boulders will be required with the exception of Shipwrecked. There are certainly untouched boulders both up and down the creek though this is the main area and the biggest most accessible cluster.

Getting There

Drive down Highway 2 until you reach the turn for Miller River and take the same turns until you reach Money Creek Road which takes a right off of Miller River Road NE or Forest Development Road 6410. Continue down Money Creek for ~3.5 miles until you reach a concrete panel of road that allows the stream to flow over and through it with pipes. At this point you can walk down the chute and the boulders will be right in front of you, you may have to look around for the Shipwrecked boulder as it is behind and past the first cluster of 3 or so in the main nest.
