Kid Boulder Area is a climbing area in Idaho, about 4 miles from the town of McMillan. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with several named areas within a tenth of a mile, including Down Under Corridor Area, Alcove Left/South, Left of the Alcove and Greenroom Area. That makes it easy to string together a day of climbing on multiple crags close together. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Twin Falls show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. The Canyon Rim Trail is about 0.6 miles away, and the Mogensen Trail is roughly 4 miles off. Rock Creek Trail lies about 6 miles away.
