Description
Manifest Destiny is a big, high quality gneiss boulder, high up on the hillside above "Behemoth 1 and 2" in the Colorado Bouldering guide by Benningfield and Samet. It has many high quality lines with nice southern exposure and melts out fast. This is a ways up on the hillside approach that will leave the crowds and the busy highway beneath you. You probably won't ever see anyone up here, but there is enough up here to keep almost every level of climber satiated.
Getting There
The boulders are on the North side of the canyon, right after the 268 Gully Boulders, one pullout further on the right. Look up the hill, and you should see them. Either you can hike up and over from the 268 Boulders in the gully, or you can take a direct approach from the pullout from where you parked and head up the small gully directly.
