About: -
Boulder Mountain is located in South Central Utah and make up half of the Aquarius Plateau.
The mountain rises to the west of Capitol Reef National Park and consists of steep slopes and cliffs with over
50,000 acres of rolling forest and meadowlands on the top. It is the highest timbered plateau in North America.
Utah Scenic Byway 12 traverses the eastern side of the mountain from Torrey through Boulder and on to Escalante.
A series of unpaved backcountry roads and jeep trails provide access to the top during the brief snow free time,
which is usually only a few months from July to September.
There are serveral small lakes and beaver ponds along the trails. The fish consist of Rainbow and Brook Trout. Several streams also contain significant fish populations and provide good
angling opportunities.
