The Boulders event site is located at the Boulders OHV staging area west of Lake Pleasant on AZ-74. The site is on BLM lands in the foothills of the Hieroglyphic Mountains. It's an excellent example of higher Sonoran Desert vegetation with rolling hills and many parallel water drainage features. The site is an active area for off-highway vehicles. Since orienteering involves traveling off-trail between points, it's easy for the two groups to share the area. The landscape is filled with a medium amount of desert vegetation. Some areas are easily runnable while others have forests of cholla and ocatillo to avoid.
