Before ending my vacation, I drove from South Dakota to northern Wyoming to hike to The Cube. I was better prepared this time so I knew where I was going. I was hiking towards the Falling Blocks Climbing Area and came in above the area where The Cube was, so I had to hike down some loose shale (I call them broken dinner plates) to get down below the Climbing Area. I then had to traverse across and around a lot of giant boulders to get to my objective.Success! I found The Cube, woo hoo!!! In fact, there are a lot of cubish boulders that have broken off the cliffs over the millenia and fallen below. This has creating the near vertical cliff faces in the Climbing Area as well as the boulder field, including The Cube.I am so jazzed to cross this off my Bucket List. Yes!As I stated before, the dirt road to get to the vicinity of this area gets very muddy. Even with 4WD, I wasn't able to get as far in as I did the previous attempt so I pulled off to park and hiked the additional distance.
