Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Castle Dale, UT, 11.3 mi away at 5,629 ft. The station sits about 1,200 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

UMWA Boulder is a climbing area in Utah on land managed by the State Land Board. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Small One, The and Flu, The both within about a quarter mile. That makes it a compact base for a day of rock in this corner of the state. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall stand out. Typical averages from the nearby Castle Dale weather station run to highs around 75°F in May and 81°F in September, and the station sits roughly 1,200 feet lower than the Boulder area, so temperatures up top run cooler. Beyond climbing, Roans Canyon offers a hike about 2 miles away and Trail Canyon a little farther at 4 miles. Joes Valley Pavilion Group Campground, about 5.5 miles off, is the closest place to camp, and Grassy Lake Fishing Site lies roughly 8 miles away.
