From Phoenix take US 60 east. Exit at Apache Junction and drive northeast on State Highway 88.
Parking is available at the Canyon Lake Marina on the left hand side.
From the parking area at the marina, cross the road and begin hiking on the rocky Boulder Canyon Trail. The trail ascends moderately with views down into the outlet of La Barge Creek to the right. Eventually the trail bends left then climbs somewhat more steeply until topping out at an unnamed hill with nice views to the southeast of Geronimo Head and Battleship Mountain with Weavers Needle poking over the hills in the distance. The trail descends somewhat, swings to the left, then right and winds it's way along the hill side before dropping steadily down into the drainage of La Barge Creek. The Boulder Canyon Trail continues across the drainage, but we turn left here and begin boulder hopping our way up La Barge Creek towards the pyramid shaped rock in the distance.
