The Boulder Trail is a roughly 1.1-mile loop that, like other trails in Rocky Branch Park, starts off the Rocky Branch Main Trail. The trail features multiple rock gardens, mandatory drops, jumps, berms, skinnies, and other man-made features. The trail splits into a short black and longer blue skill option, where the black section includes a mandatory 16" drop, smaller drops, skinny, and a unique rock feature called the "Devils Dominoes". The blue option has rock jumps, a small jump, and short downhill flow section of jumps and features before the optional black trail merges. The rest of the trail has multiple man-made features, rock gardens, skinnies, challenging climbs, drops, and a jump line. The jump line starts with a large man-made wooden platform, roughly 8 feet high. It has an optional berm ride under into three table tops, step-ups, step-downs and a large rock berm into a gap. This section of the trail can be sessioned thanks to a convenient shortcut.
