Description

A small but concentrated area of high-quality boulder problems nestled amongst the Sawtooth Mountains in the Cibola National Forest

Getting There

From Datil, head west on HWY 60 for roughly 12 miles and turn right onto Forest Road 6A. Continue for approximately 5 miles. Turn right on a well-trafficked dirt road. There may or may not be a stone cairn marking this turn. Drive the road for .7 miles until it dead ends. This is the parking. From parking, follow a well-worn trail to boulders. Hike approach time is approximately 10 minutes.
