Madison Boulder is more than just a big rock

Getting outside this winter is going to be essential as we double down in various levels of seclusion. Short walks will help keep you open to the wide world. The other day, I started to drive down Route 113 from Conway toward Madison and decided to visit the Madison Boulder. I hadn’t been there in 15 years.

I soon turned right on Boulder Road and followed the signs. I parked in the small dirt parking lot. There were four cars already there, half hunters and half visitors to the boulder. I put on hunter orange, passed a gate and walked 10 minutes to the boulder, passing an extended family on their way back out to their two cars.
