Grouping it out to the Empire Boulders again (even after goin' there 3-6 times this year already).
If its startin' to sound like a sheer dependence on convenience....let's hope not.
We can understand some of the "empire" hooked thing....its got superb bouldering.
There's a better way....just expand your options horizon a bit.
From the I-205 / I-84 freeway junction in Portland the drive time to various select bouldering sites:
- Empire Boulders = 50-minute drive
- Lost Lake Boulders = 2 hours drive
- Larch Mtn Boulders = 40-minute drive (wow that's close!)
- Annex Boulders = 40-minute drive (wow also close!)
- Cascade Boulders = yep same as the Annex....
- Bridge of the Gods Boulders = 40-minute drive
- High Rocks Boulders = 90-minute drive
And the list goes on......
