Special Instructions:

This is a loop hike around a very interesting large rock formation. This is a great spot for pictures and close to Florence. Bring water and a snack.

Directions:

Turn right on N. Felix Rd. Turn left on Hunt Hwy. Turn right on N. Pinal Parkway (AZ 79). In 4 miles, turn left on E. Florence Kelvin Hwy. Just past mile marker 15, Cochran Rd is on the left, continue to follow Florence Kelvin another 200 ft to a small dirt road on the left (no sign). Turn left on the small dirt road and drive in approximately 200 feet to parking area for Big Boulders. If you come to a fenced area on Florence Kelvin Hwy with a big sign that says “Boulders”, you have gone too far. This is private land. (Road is in bad shape)
