Cavorite Boulder
Description:
The Cavorite Boulder (named for a fictional material from "The First Men in the Moon") lays immediately behind (North) of the SME Boulder. The far left (West) side of the boulder was unearthed after heavy rains to reveal the interesting hanging feature found there, and volunteers recently flattened a small platform for pads to allow it to be safely climbed. Please pack out any trash, and stick to the paths to minimize erosion. The area sees lots of use, so please be respectful of others.
Directions:
Approach as for the Dirty Laundry Boulder. Once on the short trail to the Dirty Laundry Boulder, a trail will branch off to the left (West). Follow this trail past the Apprentice Boulder, and up to the platform at the base of the hanging face of the Cavorite Boulder.
