Up and down with shortish climbs, Boulderama is a green trail that connects Norawarren area to the bottom of Granitude trail.
The southern half of Boulderama weaves through granite boulders deposited here roughly 10,000y ago at the end of the last ice age.
The lichen on these boulders takes 1000s of years to grow. Please don't touch.
Boulderama was built in from October 2022 to September 2023 by a combination of MRWA volunteers (thanks everyone who is coming to trail days), and machine work by Kodiak Trailworks.
Access Info
In the south, access Boulderama from Upper West Pine trail, about 150m from the Norawarren trail head.
In the north, Boulderama starts/finishes near the bottom of Granitude trail.
