Sisyphus is the climb trail on Boulder Mountain. It ascends gently through a beautiful forest, connecting the main parking lot to the top of Gravy Bacon, where the lower Boulder trails can be easily accessed. Remember to slow down and look up at trail crossings, as downhill riders crossing Sisyphus have the right of way.

Access Info

The entrance is between the kiosk and the picnic tables.

Disclaimer

Downhill riders on trails crossing Sisyphus (Gravy Bacon and Boondocker) have the right of way.
