Driving Directions:
From Fayetteville, turn right onto US-19N and cross the NRG bridge. Take the 2nd right after the bridge onto Lansing-Edmond Road. Drive almost 3 miles, passing the Endless Wall Parking lots. Turn right onto Beauty Mountain Road. Take the leftmost fork and park in the new NPS lot on the right. If this lot is full, you can go back out to the 3-pronged fork and park nose in between the middle and right forks, leaving room for other cars. Locals use all of these roads, so park well off them.

Hiking Directions:
From the NPS parking lot, take the trail from the back right corner and follow the trail to the road and past the closed gate, as if you're going to Beauty Mountain or Short Creek Boulders. Continue following the gravel road, past two large detached boulders (one has Super Mario 5.13a on it) until the cliff turns away from the road. Take the faint trail following the cliff line. The cliff line will round a corner and die off at a talus field, walk across the talus field to continue along the cliff on the other side. The trail is hard to follow here especially when covered in fall leaves. A short ways after joining up again with the cliff you will see the BBQ Babies Cave in the base of the cliff line. There's a 5.12b trad line (called Barbecue Babies) up the orange, overhanging corner above the center of the cave. The trail starts out as a rocky road (with a steep bit in it), but soon becomes singletrack that is flat but poorly maintained and seldom traveled. Watch out for poison ivy. Total hiking time: 20 minutes.
