The Pantheon is a climbing area in the Boulder Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a base for a day of bouldering or a longer outing in the district. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, with July peaking near 88°F. The closest neighbors are the Spire, Hideaway Dome and Trojan Bunny Buttress, all about 0.1 mile away, and the Coffintop hike. Button Rock Trail is about 2 miles off.
