This benchmark is located at the top of a hill next to the Wapsipinicon River...directly across the river from the southern Stone City quarries. It is approximately .88 mile downstream from the boat ramp at Stone City or 2.75 miles upstream from the boat ramp near the entrance to the Wapsipinicon State Park near Anamosa. "Park" anywhere in the area shown.Circle the hill counter-clock-wise, until you pass the bluff, for the safest and easiest climb.
