Another of the place name linked to animal herding is known as Shepherds Boulder. A crossing of several forest tracks has distorted the place where the stone formation used to be. It was a mandatory stop in the past for passers-by on their way to the summit, as it was in the pine forest area and near the beginning of the brushland. From here you can access the Los Realejos Forest House, a building constructed in the first half of the 20th century as a dwelling for forest rangers.
