The shortest way to access the Arcane Crag is by driving past Kelly Canyon Ski Resort and continue 7.6 miles from where the pavement ends at Lift 4. A little over a mile from where the pavement ends is the Y Junction; stay to the right and follow the road down past Table Rock Campground, eventually reaching the river. From here, continue up river to the Wolverine Creek trailhead and keep going for another 1.5 miles to reach the Arcane. A small camping/parking area is located between the road and the river on the south side of the road. The Arcane crag is directly across the road and up the hillside to the north. A faint climbers trail can be found on either side of the gully leading up to the cliff. ***The 7.6 miles from the end of the pavement is important to know! Several people have gone out to the crag with the idea of approximate distances thinking they will just see the cliff from the road. Don't count on it. The crag is not obvious from certain vantage points along the road and many folks have missed it all together. Best to set your odometer where the pavement ends at Kelly Canyon.Courtesy of deanlords.blogspot.com
