Fern Buttress
About Fern Buttress:
| Though it is technically part of Endless Wall, most people consider Fern Buttress to be a separate area. Drive as though headed to Ambassador Buttress, but continue past the AB pull out to the next (larger) pull out, also on the right. Hike up the road from here until you see a old road bed headed down and right. Follow that. It will switch back to the right after crossing a creek (which may be dry depending on the time of year). Continue on past the eerie face in the rock and past a waterfall. Here the trail will diverge from the creek. Soon, you'll be at rock. |
