Description

Half of this boulder faces the shade, north side, and the other half is nearly full sun all day.

Getting There

After leaving the parking area, go north about 200 yards and follow the little trail. There are formations on the west side, walk until you've reached the "end". To access this boulder, it is on ground level and facing north at the "end" or base of the formation.
