Rainbow Mountain

Review

Rainbow Mountain is a local gem, nestled carefully within the hills of the suburban sprawl of Madison. The views from the stony summit trails are literally breathtaking overlooks of the countryside and the hikes are relatively easy, flanked often by the boulders that have become the post-workday hangout of a herd of the towns boulderers. All in all Rainbow Mountain provides some sweet afternoon trips and enough boulder problems to entertain most climbers for a few hours. It is important to note that there is absolutely NO roped climbing or bolting allowed in this area.
