About The Bluff:

The main, west-facing bluff (the only one where climbing is permitted). After you enter the park, go left at the first stopsign, then at the fork go right and follow the road to the end. Cross the stream on the paving stones and follow the grass trail all the way to the bluff (about a 2 min walk).
