I didn’t see if this was asked before but I would like suggestions.

Not sure if trolling...

Looks like your local to Rhode Island. Lots of great bouldering in southeast New England. Just to name a few that are within reasonable distance of you - Hammond Pond, Gloucester (Gymnasium), Lynn Woods, **Pawtuckaway**, Farley, and Rumney.

I'm also interested to see if you've start a mega-thread that goes for hundreds of posts but gets horribly derailed.

I'm originally from Rhode Island.  Looks like you've found Lincoln woods.  Check out boulders in southern RI in acadia.  In Smithfield there is an area called Connors Farm...definitely worth a visit.   If you're looking for what is the best bouldering in the US, there is a lot.  Many well known locations and lots of subjective opinions on what's "the best."

Boulder, Utah

Ya think maybe you could make your question a bit more focused and specific?

The Burr Trail grill has the best burgers in Utah.

I've heard about a couple of places in cali that are supposed to be decent but I also heard everything's pretty lowball and chossy. Might be worth checking online forums to see if anyone knows anything about climbing out there.

Like asking the best nature spot.. a bit subjective and many many many options. do you prefer high Balls or low balls? Pretty rock or good rock or both? Granite or sandstone? Easy grades or tough grades? Scenic area or convenient approach? Crowds or deserted areas? FAs or repeating classics? Something new to you or an area you find nostalgic?

It depends on what you like, but a place with all-around great bouldering is Flagstaff in Boulder CO, there are also surrounding areas like the satellites in the flatirons, boulder canyon, and Eldorado. Best place for moderates would be flagstaff, also great for hard problems, so if you are in the area go to flag first.

Boulder, Wyoming is also a contender.

Great question, sorry if I wasn't clear.  It's in Yosemite.

If my calculations are correct I believe that is west of Colorado.

Take the scenic route, go east.

Ahh sorry if it came off that way. I’m genuinely curious on the best places to go in the states.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
