The Palace in Poudre Canyon is absolutely amazing! Offers obscene amounts of routes and climbing, not so much bouldering, but a few routes hiding around. Awesome hiking and a lot of places to explore here! If you climb though this is a Mecca. You will run into plenty of people who are in general fairly nice and willing to stop and talk!!! Super beautiful scenery and lots to do!! Wouldn’t recommend bringing your kids and family unless your a family in the climbing scene!
