Wolf Creek, 384 Boulders is a bouldering area on the Bradshaw Ranger District of Prescott National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing and camping spots, with Wolf Creek Boulders about 0.4 miles away and Upper Wolf Creek Group at a similar distance. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 12 routes that range from V0- to V3. Potatoe Slab is the easiest, at V0-, and Toehook is the hardest, at V3. The routes are named in the list, so they make a natural starting point for a session. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons. Typical averages from the nearby Prescott weather station show highs around 68°F in April and 73°F in October, while July and August average around 90°F. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rocks run cooler. The closest camping is C101-Wolf Creek Designated Dispersed, about 0.3 miles away, and Horsecamp Loop is roughly a mile off for a walk or ride. Lynx Lake Recreation Area, about 6 miles away, offers lake fishing.
