Two boulders lie across the gully to the north of the Saratoga Gap Trail as you head away from the old parking lot.

From the old parking lot, walk down the Saratoga Gap trail. The classic boulder is on your right in 900 feet, while the Creek Bed boulder is 1/2 mile down the trail, immediately before the trail to Goat Rock.
