Lost Ledge Bouldering

Take Cleator Road 3.5 miles up from Chuckanut Drive to the lookout parking area at the top. Remember to display your Discover Pass before you depart.

Take the Rock Trail on the southwest end of the parking lot. This trail contours around the mountain. Drop downhill on the trail and past a long cliff-band. Pass a footbridge and then continue a bit farther to the next set of steps, .75 miles from the parking lot. Do not go down the steps. Instead, go straight on the faint climbers trail. The trail goes through some large ferns and can become indistinct. Try to stay on the most obvious trail. Eventually you will come to a switchback that drops off to the right. There is also the possibility of going straight. There are a couple of problems at a clearing just beyond the switchback. But most problems require that you drop down some steps and then cut back to the north. The trail will take you right into the heart of the boulders.

The main area is .9 miles from the parking lot, west of the north end of Lost Lake. It's easy to hear people down at the lake from the area. It takes between twenty and thirty minutes to make the approach. Expect to lose a fair bit of elevation on the way down to Lost Ledge
