Magnolia Boulders is a climbing area in California, about a mile from the community of Eucalyptus Hills. It sits close to two other climbing areas, Top of the Hill and South Slope, each about 0.1 mile away, which makes it easy to pair with those for a longer session on the rock. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in El Cajon show April highs around 75°F and October highs around 81°F, while August averages climb to about 89°F. For time off the boulders, the San Diego River Trail and King Roland's Trail are both about 1.4 miles away. Paddlers can reach the San Diego River, roughly 4.5 miles off.
