Upper Bull Mountain Boulders is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Richfield Field Office in Utah. It sits about 0.7 miles from the Bull Mountain Boulders climbing area, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding boulders. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V0- to V1- on the V scale. The easiest are Day Dreams at V0- and Jacuzzi Casanova at V0, while Papa Muntz Style is the hardest at V1-. For the most comfortable conditions, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 75°F, with July peaking near 87°F. That station sits about 850 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up here run cooler. Lonesome Beaver Campground is about 2.6 miles away, and Bull Creek Pass Road and Mount Ellen Trail are both within about 5 miles. West Draw, another climbing area, is about 6.5 miles off.
