Description

Ramp Rock is a boulder right next to the trail on the E.M. Greenman Trail, just after the intersection with the Green Bear Trail and Ranger Trail. There is at least one obvious problem right up the west side of the boulder.

This is being organized under the Sacred Cliffs area, because it is nearby and follows the same options to get there.

Getting There

See Chautauqua trail system for your choice, but more than likely you'll decide on these directions, which is what I recommend.

Option 1: start at the Chautauqua Trailhead, and take the lowest trail along Baseline toward Gregory Canyon. Continue and take the Gregory Canyon Trail which will ascend the canyon and turn into the Ranger Trail near Realization Point. Continue along until the intersection with the E.M. Greenman Trail. At this point, take a right at the intersection and continue along, and then take a left at the next intersection. From this point, it's only about another 5 minutes along the trail.

Option 2: park on Flagstaff Mt. at the Realization Point area by taking Baseline Rd. up the winding hillside of Flagstaff. Park at the entrance to the road that goes to the Summit of Flagstaff Mt. Head south on the trail until it meets up with the Ranger Trail, taking it right. Continue along until the intersection with the E.M. Greenman Trail. At this point, take a right at the intersection and continue along, and then taking a left at the next intersection. From this point, it's only about another 5 minutes along the trail.

If you continue along after the boulder, you'll soon reach the summit of Green Mt.

It's about 2.5 miles to the summit of Green Mt. and over 2,500 feet elevation gain from option 1, but it makes it a great day hike.
