Yellow Boulder is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about a mile from the town of Smithfield. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Grandma's House just 0.1 mile away and Dragon's Den 0.2 mile off, and Crystal Palace about half a mile away. The area is a compact, close-to-town destination for boulderers. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes spread across the V0 to V7-8 range. Old Yeller is the easiest at V0, and Project is the hardest at V7-8. Mellow Yellow and Yellow Moon are both V2, and Yellow Belly is V3. For a change from the rocks, the Yellow Diamond Trail and Red Trail are both about 0.9 mile away, and the Stillwater Scenic Trail is about 1.1 mile off. Paddlers can reach the Woonasquatucket River, roughly 2.5 miles away.
