Bouldering in Joe's Valley, UT

05/19/18

We had so much fun scrambling up the mountain and hiking through a wash, once we found everything. We tried to follow the directions posted on this page but didn’t find any of the “Forks” or “New Joes”. We eventually found some cool things to do along the part of Route 29 that runs along the river. There are several pull offs along the road that have the adventures you are looking for. We found some cool sandstone bouldering/climbing at the last pull off before the reservoir. There wasn’t any real trail (at least that we could find or that was marked). There was a little waterfall (very dry, at least when we were there in May, just trickling off the ledge), and we just kind of headed up the mountain until we got there. We camped the night before at the reservoir. If you are interested in doing that, you can make online reservations at rec.gov for $10 (+$10 online fee). There was a cool overlook just past the campsite, but we found no bouldering or hikes past the reservoir.
