Access Issue: As of November 2021, there are new parking arrangements. Please follow this guidance. Details

The current parking area is now limited parking, subject to the following guidelines:

No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.

The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.

Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.

Getting There

From the junction of Tower Wall tier trail and the Good Book access trail, go steep up NorthEast about 100 feet. At the top of the steep section, turn off Left and go NorthWest 200 ft roughly horizontal across the top of the Wichquawanck + Nechtanc. Next turn Right and go up NorthEast 50 ft perhaps with a little scrambling. A little left see the tree with an extra sideways trunk growing out out of the rock face - - > [ Photo ]

Another way is to go to the Good Book wall, then from the center of Good Book find a way downward left (west) about 150 ft to another smaller tier below.
. . (Crazy Tree is about 100 ft SouthEast below the Romance Novels crag).
