Junction Boulders is a bouldering area in West Virginia's Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of named boulders, with Karate Kid Boulder, Lost in Moss Boulder and Exhibition Boulder all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with four routes on record. They range from V1 to V4-5, so the area suits climbers of different skill levels. Rum Ham is the easiest at V1, and In This Trying Time is the hardest at V4-5. September is a comfortable time to visit, with typical highs around 77°F and lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Morgantown. That station sits about 660 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. The Ridge Trail starts about 0.2 mile away, and the Canyon Rim Trail and Northside Trail are both within a mile.
