Description

Set of boulders located along Falling Creek further upstream from the "Falling Creek Boulder" entry. Different rock type than the main group of Hitchiti boulders and yes, plenty of dirt, lichen, moss, and bugs. Most obvious problem here is the large flake overhanging a shallow puddle of water from the creek hence the name. There are a few other possible routes and variations that need to be cleaned.

Getting There

Either follow the Hitchiti hiker's trail or walk along the forest service road to the trail along the river. Walking south on the trail it will be on hiker's right. You can see the top of the flake from the trail next to the creek.
