Candy Store Area is a climbing area in Colorado on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management through its Grand Junction Field Office. It is a cluster of named boulders, several of which sit within about a tenth of a mile of one another, so you can move between problems without long walks. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run about 74°F for highs and 49°F for lows in May, and about 66°F and 41°F in October. July highs average in the low 90s, and winter brings a few snowy days each month. The closest boulders include Sol Tut Boulder, Veiled Citizen Boulder and Candy Store Boulder, all about 0.1 mile away. The Tabeguache Trail passes about 0.3 mile off if you want to hike as well as climb.
