Access Issue: The State Rec Area closes at dusk - most parking areas are self-paid Details

Most of Auburn SRA is open from 7 am to sunset. Leave early enough to be off the trails before dusk. Most parking requires self registration fees in cash envelopes (or annual state park passes), and is enthusiastically enforced. Check the Auburn State Recreation Area website at parks.ca.gov/?page_id=502 for current information. Note that the park's policy is that technical roped climbing is only permitted in the Cave Valley/Quarry area - outside the fenced private quarry at the back. Unroped climbing - aka bouldering or DWS - is allowed everywhere with a safe landing.

Description

A mellow intro boulder next to the family swimming area. Enjoy if you're already here for anything else.

Getting There

From the north side of the tall green bridge, follow well used use trails downhill to the North Fork north shore beach area. At the bottom of a low angle grassy slope under the parking road (Foresthill), find the wide but short boulder that faces south into the sun. Pick an easy line and go, but mind the pokey foliage at the top. Scramble or hike off to the left (back toward the bridge) when done.
