There are two approaches to this area, both fairly long and arduous with pads. Plan for about an hour of exposed desert hiking.

The preferred approach for most will be to park at the southernmost Oak Creek parking lot off 159 to avoid driving the entirety of the scenic loop. From this lot, take the large rocky trail to the southern end of the Beehive Knoll. Eventually, the trail will take a hard right (north) towards Oak Creek Canyon. Instead of continuing on this large dirt track, look for a climber's trail which continues straight (west) towards the base of Mt. Wilson. Follow this winding, cairned trail which stays just above the creek bed until you are level with the boulders you're interested in. Most of the boulders will require dropping down towards the creek bed.

The other approach comes from the north by driving the entirety of the scenic loop and parking in the Oak Creek parking lot at the end of the dirt road. Take the North Oak Creek trail. This will meetup with the Middle Oak Creek Trail, and then soon hit a junction with the Knoll Trail. Take a left onto the South Oak Creek trail. When the trail cuts hard left at the south end of the knoll, look for a climber's trail on your right. Follow this winding, cairned trail which stays just above the creek bed until you are level with the boulders you're interested in. Most of the boulders will require dropping down towards the creek bed.
