Gilligan's Island is a climbing area in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park, a county-managed park in Colorado. The land is listed as county land, and the park's name suggests a cluster of climbing spots rather than a single route. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Evergreen weather station, which sits about 700 feet lower, show July highs around 81°F with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-40s. Pirate's Cove, Tortuga and Black Pearl, The are all climbing areas about 0.1 mile away, and Bearberry Trail is a hike at the same distance. For a longer outing, Bear Creek offers canoeing about 1.6 miles off.
