Homestead Canyon is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in California's Eagle Lake Field Office. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Cow Skull Boulders about half a mile away and Pinkland and The Black Hole each roughly a mile off. The canyon's boulders are the draw here. The area holds nine routes, all bouldering, with grades ranging from V0+ to V4. The median grade is V3, and the hardest routes are Donkey show and Popov at V4. The boulders are the focus, so plan on a day of crag time rather than a long approach. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and October highs around 67°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. For more climbing, Cow Skull Boulders is the closest neighbor. Pinkland and The Black Hole are also within a mile. Meadow View Family Campground, about 10 miles away, offers a place to stay.
