Silver Lake Granite Boulders is a bouldering area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the boulders sit about a quarter mile from the Silver Lake hike and the Will Ferrell Boulder climbing area. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the two routes are rated V0- and V0 on the V scale. Hands Off My Sandwich is the V0- one, and Bloody Wasp is the V0. That makes this a good stop for climbers looking for low-grade boulders close to the lake. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station in Alta run to a high of 73°F and a low of 50°F, and June and August are similar. That station sits about 1,000 feet below the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. Nearby options include the Silver Lake Shoreline Trail, about a mile away, and Granite Flat campground, roughly 1.5 miles off. Mary Ellen's Gulch, another climbing area, is about 2.4 miles away, and Echo Reservoir is about 3.9 miles away.
