Ropeless Days in Joshua Tree

Joshua Tree National Park is a mighty big place; 900,000 acres plus or minus a few, so this is an attempt to help our hands-up crowd get straight to what they want, bouldering! This is a work in progress so some things will inevitably get shifted around a bit, so please bear with us!

Getting Here and There

Each area has its own directions, with hyper-links to a greater area that the bouldering site might be found in. Being a work in progress, if there is any sketchy or confusing directions, please let an administrator know so the site can be improved!
