Description

Smelter Cliffs are a series of scruffy-looking cliffs above the rapids at Santa Rita and the Dog Park. These are awaiting additional FAs for those willing to do a bit of hiking/cleaning.

Getting There

Hike the trail from Smelter Trailhead, at a low point in ridge, look for cairn on stump & faint trail easterly. Contour and then drop down to walk south with an exposed 4th class section on ledges to get to base of the cliff band.
