Beta on property boundaries for Happy Hour Rock. Data are from the Montana Cadastral Website (cadastral.mt.gov, accessed March 10, 2018), the states official source for property ownership. In the gully below the rock the property boundary is approximately 15-16 feet west of the road. Cutting through the woods from the lower or upper parking should keep you on public land.
