Today, a buddy and I tried to find "Shotgun" around Chandler Park in Tulsa, OK but were unsuccessful. We made it as far as the frontage road, I think.. After we crossed the highway (64) we went right, I didn't know where "frontage" road was. (is that the name of the road or just the road thats next to the river?) So we took W Wekiwa Rd. which ran parallel of the river and the only road we saw after we crossed over the highway. The only "No Dumping" sign we saw was right near 161st W. Ave (about 3/4 of a mile down Wekiwa from the overpass) and it was facing the opposite direction so we didn't think that was the right one but we looked all around that area on the paths that looked like trails. We found some boulders but nothing like the pictures I saw on RC.com. So I was wondering if anyone wants to go climb out there sometime or know better directions?

The directions are all accurate until the no dumping sign. There is no "no dumping" sign anywhere near the area. Take the frontage road west(the one running parallel to the river) until you start to see the boulders on the right. It is actually the second hill with boulders. The trail is on the right side of the road just before a small bridge over a dried up creek. Take the trail up the hill and back east. You will run right into all the boulders in the pic.

There is a nice pull off about 2 or 300 yards up the road on the right. You can park there and walk back to the trail head by the little bridge.

Once you turn onto the Frontage Road, you will go 2.1mi to the pulloff on the right side (north) of the road. Hike NE up the trail that takes you to the end of a fence, and follow the trail E along the fence. After a few hundred yards, the trail trends uphill away from the fence and directly to the first boulder.
