Eldorado Springs Canyon
 |

Eldorado Canyon State Park, 7 miles southwest of Boulder,
is nothing short of legendary. It's known for its enchanting ambiance, necky
trad leads, historical first ascents and beautiful stone.
 |
| Cloud
9 |
Recently, however, bouldering possibilities above the canyon both to the
north and the south have been explored. The four newest areas to have seen
serious development are Cloud 9, the Rincon Boulders (AKA the Musical Boulders),
the Physical Boulders, a half hour hike up Eldorado Canyon trail, and the
Freight Train, a 15 minute hike from the Crescent Meadows trail head.
Cloud
9 is on hold because
of sensitive access issues.
However, there are equally
worthy bouldering areas in
Eldorado Canyon State Park
and on nearby state land.
The "Rincon Boulders" offer
face climbing on perfect
stone above soft landings.
The Physical Boulders sport
the incredible maroon stone of
the consistently overhanging
Nightmare Block. And for
a change of pace, The
FreightTrain offers killer
moves on brilliant granite. |
