Driving/Approach: DRIVING: From the Hwy 28/431 junction in Incline Village, drive up Hwy 431 (Mt. Rose Highway) for 4.0 miles and park on the left in a large pullout. APPROACH: From the lower part of the pullout, look across the street to find an obvious trailhead for the Incline Flume Trail. Ride or walk down this trail, and leave the trail at various points to access the different bouldering areas. Refer to the beta boxes at the start of each subsection for specific directions on where to cut off the trail for each area.
