If you’re driving across the country on the Trans Canada Highway, there’s a vast expanse with nothing but prairie. Standing Rock, a glacial erratic about 45 minutes from the #1 makes a pretty good spot for the traveling boulderer to stretch their legs. The lone boulder is 12 feet high and has about 10 problems, ranging from V0 to V5, with a couple of projects that may be harder. Access Standing Rock is a historic site and there are pictographs on the boulder. While there are no access issues, it’s best to keep a low profile. Seasons Spring, summer and fall are best. Food The coffee shop in Hazlet, Coffee Thyme, serves a great slice of pie. Geology The boulder is Hudson Bay granite, which was moved during the Wisconsin glaciation about 14 000 years ago. The collapsed portion of the boulder reportedly fell in about 1850. |
