Description

Good Granite climbing with out the crowds. Do not climb here in the Summer it is too hot.

Getting There

There's a couple ways to approach this area, both about the same distance.

From the big Granite Mountain TH parking lot off 136th Street:

Option 1: Head NW along the Bootlegger Trail until it intersects the Saddlehorn Trail (~0.7 mi). Take a left on Saddlehorn and go to it's intersection with the Granite Mountain Loop Trail (~0.2 mi). Take a right and hike the Granite Mountain Loop Trail to the north and west until you see a big formation on the left with a large crack running down the middle. This is The Loaf. Bobcat Boulder is the small broken cliff below and to the left of the Loaf.

Option 2: Head west on the Powerline Trail to it's intersection with the Granite Mountain Trail (~0.6 mi). Take right onto the Granite Mountain Trail and hike that to it's intersection with the Granite Mountain Loop Trail (~0.3 mi). Go right on the GMLT and take that trail past it's intersection with the Saddlehorn Trail around to the north and west until you see a big formation on the left with a large crack running down the middle. This is The Loaf. Bobcat Boulder is the small broken cliff below and to the left of the Loaf.
