Hexxus Boulder 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 Fern Gully about 0.1 mile away and Bulletin Boulders about 0.2 mile away. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Leavenworth show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 78°F, while July and August average about 87°F. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up here run cooler. Snow Lakes Trail starts about 0.3 mile away, and the Snow Lakes hike is about half a mile off. For an overnight stay, Eightmile Group Site is about 2.5 miles away.
