Land of the Lost is a bouldering area on city land in Colorado, about a tenth of a mile from the Central and Red Devil climbing areas. It sits in Boulder, where the surrounding area is a cluster of climbing spots, trails and waterways. The area is a bouldering destination, with 10 routes spread across the site. All are boulders, and the grades range from V0 to V8-9, with the median around V3-4. Ankylosaurus is the easiest at V0, and Three Shots is the hardest at V8-9. Muffin Time and Caillou on Crack sit in the middle of that range. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, while July averages climb to about 88°F. The Mallory Cave Trail and Mesa Trail are both about 0.3 miles away. Boulder Creek, a paddling spot, is about 2.7 miles off, and Winiger Ridge campground is about 4.7 miles away.
