Bridge Creek Free Camping is a climbing area in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of bouldering spots, with Angelina Jolie Boulder and Twisted Tree Boulder both within a quarter mile, and Bridge Creek Group Site about 0.3 miles away for those who want to camp. The climbing here is all bouldering, with three routes listed at the V6 grade on the V scale. They are Best Day Ever, Dusk and Mercenary. The area is close to other climbing, including Twisted Tree Boulder, and to Bridge Creek Group Site for camping. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Leavenworth show July and August highs around 87°F with lows near 50°F and only about three wet days a month. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler.
