Social Distancing Boulder is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Royal Gorge Field Office in Colorado. The name points to its purpose rather than a specific route, and it sits among a cluster of trails and climbing spots in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Florissant Fossil Bed show July highs around 79°F with lows near 42°F, though that station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the boulder, so temperatures here run cooler. September is milder, with highs around 71°F. BLM Trail 5825A passes about 0.3 miles away, and Quarry Wall at the Bank is a climbing area about half a mile off. Banks Campground and The Bank Campground are both within about 1.6 miles.
