Black Wave Boulder Area

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bouldering

Description

We'll post more on this as we learn more, but the Black Wave Area is about a mile past Bone Park. There's a pull-off on the right hand side. Follow the trail to a good chunk of boulders. The first boulder you pass will be the Brain Boulder. While this may not be traditionally a part of the Black Wave Area, it's close enough to group them all together.

Getting There

Go past Bone Park about a mile and park in the pulloff.

Per Nick Reecy: the area is more than 2 miles from Bone Park. This area can be accessed from four pullouts, they are located between 6.9 and 7.3 miles if approaching from the intersection of US 50/CO Highway 141. The pullouts are located on the west side of CO Highway 141.
