The Black Pearl is a climbing area in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park, on county land in Colorado. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the park's rock and hiking routes. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Evergreen weather station show July highs around 81°F with lows near 49°F, while winter highs sit in the mid-40s. Tortuga, Widower Wall and Pirate's Cove are all climbing areas about 0.1 mile away, and Bearberry Trail is a hike at the same distance. Sisters Trail is about half a mile off.
