Section 4 makes use of the area near the parking lot and along the fence line. Not much to report outside of a loose climb, a loose chute, a loose whoop-dee-do, and a couple of stable rock features. The rocky goodness along the creek is the standout. At one mile, Section 4 serves its purpose well, to get you onto the next one.
