Description
The Southside Crags are located on the left side of Meadow River up- and down-stream of highway 19. All sectors are located along the old railway track.
Approach
Drive North on highway 19 and take highway 60 south until you reach Lookout. Take a left on Propps Ridge road and follow it for about 4.5 miles. At this point the paved road takes a right to a big locked gate, you continue straight on the gravel road. Cross two creeks on old wooden railroad bridges and continue on the gravel road until you see a small parking below on your left. Park there and hike along the road (left from where you arrived) and cross another bridge (the road got blocked with big boulders just after this bridge. In the past it was possible to drive along Meadow River to the different sectors). Continue along the former railroad track to the various sectors that are on your left up the hill.
Ethic inherited from Meadow River
The land ownership at Meadow River varies a lot, from private land to National Recreation Area land, please behave accordingly and leave no trace!
