Roslyn

A collection of chossy sandstone with some surprising gems. This area could improve with more attention to stewardship and further development. Have at it! Note: Do not climb on wet sandstone. Wait 48 hours from the last rain to avoid rock break. Drive toward downtown Roslyn. Take a right on Dakota. When the road bends around left, park in the dirt lot immediately to your right. Walk toward the Roslyn Urban Forest trailhead sign up from the top right side of the dirt lot. Continue past the trailhead sign on the dirt road. Bear left at the first intersection before you reach the apple tree. Head toward the Slag Pile loop. 50 or 60 feet further turn left onto the Slag Pile loop trail. There is a small wooden sign on the tree. This narrow trail is shared with Mountain bikers so be aware. Do not go up the slag pile, go left and around it. After one minute of walking you will see small rock slabs on your right. This is the entrance to the boulder field. Head up the slab and trending left will lead you to the Tara boulder trail. Head up center through the low canyon will lead you to Happy Tree boulder and lots of development potential. The whole approach to Tara Boulder should take ~10 minutes.
