Willow Springs Boulders is a bouldering area in the La Madre Mountain Wilderness, part of the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock/Sloan Field Office in Nevada. It sits within the wilderness, about 6.5 miles from Red Rock Canyon Campground, which makes it an easy pairing for a longer trip. Spring is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F and lows near 47°F, while July and August average about 95°F. That station sits about 700 feet lower, so temperatures at the boulders run slightly cooler. Thirteen boulder problems make up the area, with grades ranging from V0 to V7. Some of the easier ones are Chimney and Right at V0, and the harder Bonsai at V7. Name Plate Boulder and Lost And Found Crag are both about 0.1 mile away, and Lost Creek Trail is 0.2 mile off.
