Description Suggest change

East Bluff bouldering areas on the south facing slopes of the East Bluff.  Everything (just about) east of Balanced Rock, down to the Sandstone areas, and back up along the Ice Age Trail.

Any of these boulders out in an open boulder field will be very sunny - quick to warm up in the spring, and quick to dry off after a rain.

Getting There Suggest change

The South Shore Talus, Major Mass, Potholes Talus, and Kitty Corner are most quickly accessed from the South Shore.

The East Rampart and the CCC areas, as well as East of the East are most quickly accessed from the CCC parking area.

The Vulture Lookout areas are probably most often accessed from the CCC parking lot as well.

The Junkyard Boulder and the Sandstone boulders are most quickly accessed from the Sandstone/Roznos Meadow parking area.

The Ice Age Trail boulders are most quickly accessed from the Ice Age Trail parking area on Hwy 113.
