Amigos Traverse is a bouldering area in Maine, set within the Kenyon Hill unit of the GWRLT land managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Kenyon Hill Preserve, Two and a Half Bouldermen and The Whale Boulder all about 0.1 mile away, and the Blue Square Trail just as close. The area is a bouldering destination, with five routes all rated on the V scale. The easiest are Broken Wagon at V0-1 and Paddy Wagon at V0, while The Low Road is the hardest at V3. Tiny Dancer, a V2- boulder, was first climbed by Cooper Boucher. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Cape Neddick weather station show July and August highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, and September is the driest month, with about eight wet days. For a longer outing, the Checkerberry Trail and Split Rock Trail are both about a mile away. Huttopia Southern Maine offers camping roughly 10 miles off.
