Vernon soon becomes Senator Highway which winds its way into the forest. About 6 1/2 miles from Gurley Street, look for the trailhead parking lot on the left (also the turnoff for Camp Wamatochick). This is a fee parking lot, but Wednesdays are free. To reach the main bouldering area from the parking lot walk north along Groom Creek Loop Trail #307 for a few hundred feet. Boulders are straight ahead left of the trail and underneath the obvious set of power lines. Once Trail #307 veers right, look for climbers path that head left through open woods to the boulders or leave Trail #307 and hike the path under the powerlines.Alternatively, visitors can park at the school bus turnaround on the right just prior to reaching the Wamatochick turnoff (free to park any day, do not block ability of bus to use the turnaround). This lot is directly across the street from some boulders hanging over the road (Roadside Attraction area). Cross Senator Highway and follow trails into the bouldering area.Map: Click here for a map to Groom Creek Reservations: Reservations are not needed or accepted at Groom Creek. |
