Description

This covers all of the bouldering spots from the Park entrance to the Lost Horse Road and while some areas are limited others offer a good circuit worth spending some time, so check the information and know before you go.

The rock in this area tends to be overall quite good with some being excellent and the lack of obvious crowds is a nice plus.
