Jackoff Rocks. Hard to tell from this picture, but this place usually is bathed in sunlight. |

My first ASS ski ever –– before I knew what ASS is,
or even the name of this destination (I don't want to know the source of this name) –– was to Jackoff
Rocks. The rocks are some large boulders placed to stabilize
a high cut bank on the right side of the trail. From the Sno-park
head straight north toward Trinity (what the Forest Service calls
Route 2) for 1.1 mile. At the intersection (what the Forest Service
calls “Junction C), bear left along Route 2A. Stay on this
trail as it winds up a long hill, avoiding the possible turns to
the right, until you crest the top of the hill at 3.3 miles from
the Sno-park. The namesake rocks are on your right, and the Chiwawa
River Valley drops down on your left. Across the valley are the
forests, and clear-cuts, of Pole Ridge (see Trip
#10). |

On a clear day in late winter (say February), the morning sun
lights up the valley below and creeps up to Jackoff Rocks ––
a good place to enjoy your snack before retracing your tracks back
to the car. |
