Serene Area Boulders is a bouldering area in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Camp Serene and Camp Raucous each about 0.1 mile away. The boulders are all within a short walk of those camps, making them an easy addition to a stay at either. The climbing here is bouldering only, with six routes spread across the V1 to V5 range. Pumpkin Pie is the easiest at V1, and Taken for Granite is the hardest at V5. The median grade is V3, so the area works for climbers of all levels. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 78°F with only about seven wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days. Nearby, the Lake Isabel Trail is about 1.2 miles away and Wallace Falls State Park Campground is about 3.7 miles away. Paddlers can head to Proctor Creek, about 2.2 miles off.
