Boulder Mountain, located in the Rocky Mountains mountain range, is a prominent peak in the region with an elevation of approximately 9,545 feet (2,909 meters). It spans across a substantial area, covering about 70 square miles (181 square kilometers).

Several creeks, including Boulder Creek and Warm Springs Creek, receive runoff from the mountain, ensuring a consistent flow of water downstream throughout the year.

These boulders, remnants of ancient geological processes, have remained a distinctive feature of the mountain.
