Oasis Boulders is a bouldering area in the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking destinations, with Lost Lake Boulders and Rewilding Boulders each about 0.1 mile away and the Old Skyline Trail #655 also within a tenth of a mile. The boulders here are all boulder problems, with 15 routes ranging from V0 to V5. The easiest is Mirage Arete at V0, and the hardest is Dr Mindbender at V5. Parking Lot Warm Up is a V1 route with a first ascent by Luke Cova, and Bender is a V2 route with a first ascent by Brad Caldwell. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with only about two wet days, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and rain on roughly half the days. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Lost Lake Campground is about 1.3 miles away, and the Lake Branch Cascades Trail #618A is about 0.9 mile off. Paddlers can reach Blazed Alder Creek and the West Fork Hood River, both about 3.7 miles away.
