Bulletin Boulders is a climbing area in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington. It sits within a cluster of climbing spots and trails about 0.2 miles from Hexxus Boulder and Fern Gully, and about 0.3 miles from the Snow Lakes Trail. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Leavenworth run to highs around 71°F in May and 78°F in September, with July and August highs near 87°F. That station sits about 380 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. Snow Lakes Trail and the Snow Lakes hike are the closest ways to add a walk to a visit. For an overnight stay, Eightmile Group Site is about 2.4 miles away, and Bridge Creek Group Site is about 3.3 miles away.
