Description Suggest change

There are quite a few boulder problems along the Potholes Trail loop. This area is often sees less traffic for boulderers but is a popular area for rope climbing. The boulders are high quality and the hike in is quite picturesque. Expect to encounter hikers along the trail.

Getting There Suggest change

When entering the park, you will pass the gift store on your left and continue until you see a small parking lot on your right. You should see a sign that says Potholes Trail. Park there and all of the boulders will be off of this trail.
