Access Issue: If you don't want to cause access issues please make it a point to be on your best behavior.
Details
If you are coming up, note the following:
-There are no fires allowed anywhere, including the boulder basin & group campsites.
-Please carpool, parking is limited, so if you show up and there is nowhere reasonable for you to park, you must leave. (instead of parking somewhere unreasonable).
-Bring cash to park, lots of people showing up without cash. Even if you don't camp overnight, you still must pay for day parking.
-Don't climb boulders in/ around occupied camp sites (some say ask, personally I just go somewhere else).
-Spread out a bit.
Description
The Trailside Boulders are at a lower elevation than the main areas of Black Mountain making this a good winter location. This area features a good deal of classic warmup lines and harder climbs, plenty to make the hike worth it.
Getting There
A 30-40 minute hike (1 mile) from the Black Mountain Trail parking lot. This is the first grouping of boulders you will come to after the hike.
