Roadside Attraction Boulder is a bouldering area on Forest Service land in the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. It sits among several other climbing and hiking spots, with the Old Skyline Trail #655 and Extra Crispy Boulders both about a tenth of a mile away, and the Babaharimoss boulder just as close. The bouldering here runs from V2 to V10, with six routes in total, and the highest grade is V10 on both Lost and Found and Roadside Attraction. The climbing is all bouldering, and the area is best suited for climbers looking to work on a range of grades, from the easier V2 to the more difficult V10. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Government Camp show July and August highs around 70°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and rain on 20 or more days. For more to do nearby, Lost Lake campground is about 1.4 miles away, Buck Peak is under a mile off, and the West Fork Hood River offers paddling about 3.8 miles away.
