Tour Boulder Two is a bouldering area in Joshua Tree National Park in California, managed by the National Park Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Tour Boulder One and the Lechlinski Crack Formation about 0.1 mile away and the Volcano Boulder Area about 0.3 mile off. The area is a short walk from the Lechlinksi Cracks Area, so it pairs easily with other bouldering in the same corner of the park. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V0 to V2+. The easiest is Purple Microdot at V0, and the hardest is Tour of Duty at V2+. Rob Guinn first climbed both Purple Microdot and Rob's Prob, and Chris Miller first climbed Tour of Duty. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Yucca Valley show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average about 96°F. A fee is charged for park use. Plan on a short outing, since the boulders are close together and the routes are all within a few hundred yards of one another.
