Description
This area is host to many GHSP classics. Park at the Park Office (drinks, snacks, GHSP Guidebooks and maps, Chalk, brushes, and rental crash pads!), and walk the Split Rock Bouldering Trail (GHSP's new & official State Park bouldering tail!). You will reach the Contact Station Boulders within a minute's time. This cluster is home to several of the parks most popular climbs.
Further down the trail you will reach a point where you can drop off to the left on a spur trail to the Alchemy Area. Here you will find several shorter, but fun boulders with many problems to choose from.
Continue along the Split Rock Trail and you will walk through a small meadow leading back to the parking lot and Park Office!
Be sure to scope out more information, videos, pictures, and problem description on GHSP Bouldering: graysonhighlandsbouldering.…

Getting There
As you pull into the park you have to pay three dollars (at the peak season) as you drive past the little pay station which is called "The Contact Station". There will be a bigger building with a parking lot to the left directly after this and this is the Park Office.
The Split Rock Bouldering Trail begins at the top of the small hill to the left of the Park Office building (find the small green electric box, behind that are two huge trees. Between the trees is the trailhead). This is a 1.3 mile loop trail that leads directly back to the parking lot.
Follow specific boulderfield access/directions in the GHSP Bouldering Guidebook, or GHSP's Rakkup Guidebook App
