lucas79 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Does anyone out there have directions to Bridge of the Gods bolulders....directions that will actually get me there. I've tried to find them several times but have never have found a boulder.....not one... Quote
Quarryographer Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Hey man, I don't have directions for ya...(sorry), but I'm curious where about these illusive boulders may lie... I'm lookin for some new bouldering on the sound side of the mountains... Quote
scion Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I've been to the upper boulders a few times. I just followed the directions at the Mountain Project website: Â http://www.mountainproject.com/v/washington/bridge_of_the_gods_boulders/105789016 Â Be very careful, though; last Spring I lost the trail on the way back to my pickup and ended up with a nasty case of poison oak.

I'm lookin for some new bouldering on the sound side of the mountains... I'm guessing by the location listed on your profile this area is bit far as these boulders are in the Columbia River Gorge, right outside of the town Cascade Locks (which is 15 minutes west of Hoof River). I've been wanting to check this place out too so good directions would be nice.   Quote
scion Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 denalidave, Â Have you tried the directions at the Mountain Project website? They did the trick for me on the first try. If it doesn't end up raining this weekend I might head out there on Sunday. I'll try to come up with some directions of my own, or maybe even some GPS coordinates if I can dig up my Garmin. Â Outside of Horsethief and Bulo Meadow, are there any other worthy spots that an HR boulderer should know about? Quote
Bosterson Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Outside of Horsethief and Bulo Meadow, are there any other worthy spots that an HR boulderer should know about? Â There are a couple of boulders at Beacon, off to the left of the trail to the top (in the foresty area), Hwy 14 side. I'm not sure it's worth making an entire trip just for them though... Quote
scion Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) There are a couple of boulders at Beacon, off to the left of the trail to the top (in the foresty area), Hwy 14 side. I'm not sure it's worth making an entire trip just for them though... I drive by Beacon fairly frequently, so maybe I'll pull in and give it a looksee sometime. Thanks for the tip. Along those lines, there are a few boulder problems out at Bulo Point too. I came across a video of someone working one of them on YouTube or somewhere like that. It's been a while since I've been out there but I recall the boulders being a few hundred yards past (north of) the bolted rocks, and there was a pretty obvious trail that takes you right by them.

denalidave Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 denalidave, Have you tried the directions at the Mountain Project website? They did the trick for me on the first try. No, I have not gotten any further than THINKING about checking it out. I really hate bouldering as it is a bit boring for me. But, since it is so close (about a five minute drive from home), it would be a good training option when Beacon is closed. Not sure if I will make it over there before Beacon opens up but it would be nice to have the beta to get there. Quote
