Moonshine Boulder is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Grand Junction Field Office in western Colorado. It sits among a cluster of other boulders and climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the surrounding crags. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 66°F, while July averages climb to about 93°F. Poe Block, Tree of Life Boulder and Tomek Rock all lie about 0.1 mile away. The Tabeguache Trail is about 0.6 mile off.
