Roadside is a climbing area in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park, a county-managed unit in Colorado. It sits on county land, and the surrounding park holds several other climbing spots and trails within a short distance. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Evergreen show July highs around 81°F with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-40s. That station sits about 660 feet lower than the park, so temperatures at the climbing area run a little cooler. The closest neighbors are the Ranch View Trail and the Secluded Wall climbing area, both about 0.1 mile away. The Shoulder Boulders and the Subterranean Wall (A.K.A. The Dragon's Den) are each about 0.2 mile off.
