The Good: Outstanding Boulders, Scenic, No Crowds The Bad: Bugs, Semi Long Approach, Tourists Hiking The PCT DRIVING: From the 50/89 junction drive west on Hwy 50 for 4.0 miles just past the apex of Echo Summit. Just before the highway shifts from 2 lanes to 4, take the left turn into the PCT trailhead and park, there is a sign here for “Adventure Mountain” snow play area. APPROACH: Head south on the PCT for 15 minutes, taking care to stay on the PCT at the forks, and the first boulder, “Ojo Rojo” will be 10 yds off the trail on your left. From here continue south along the PCT through mellow hiking, and you will find many boulders peppered along the trail. Some blocks are actually right on the PCT, the rest are not far off it. After about 45 minutes you will arrive at the main circuit which sits in a fairly tight cluster on a hillside. When you see the Fire Block sitting just above the trail, you will know you have arrived at the main area. You will find more specific beta on the approaches to the main boulders on the following pages.
