Description

Hardrock Hotel has 2 ledges highlighting a steep, wide glen as you head north through "The Wilderness" area of the park.

With some significant cleaning, the potential for challenging, overhung topropes as well as bouldering routes exists in this area.

More photos soon to come!

Getting There

After walking in about 30 feet, head left veering due north from the trail beginning at the Williams Street entrance (off Forest Hills Street - there is street parking). The trail there will take you through a dense thicket of Japanese knotweed until you emerge at the base of the Western Ledge of Hardrock Hotel, the Northern Ledge will be up the hill about 70 feet further north and clearly visible (the knotweed stops here).

Alternatively, the GPS location is accurate to within a few meters and trails abound in "The Wilderness" area of the park, so simply navigating by GPS directly to the location might be the easiest!
