Description

Boulder field being developed. A lot of untouched boulders up to 20 feet tall.

Getting There

Park at the Mt. Seneca/Bear Caves Trailhead entrance. The trail entrance should be across the lot. When you approach the trail, keep left and follow the trail for about 6-7 minutes until you reach the boulders.

If you accidentally take the right trail at the beginning, you’ll eventually reach a split with tire marked trails, follow the trail up to an opening of grass with a small concrete structure in the middle. There will be a small trail to the left into the forest. Follow this trail until you see the boulders. First decent, climbable boulder will be a roof problem.
