Description 

Cascade Canyon has a moderate selection of bolted limestone sport routes. Difficulties typically range from 5.11 to 5.12. Some easier (5.9-5.10) and harder routes can also be found. Routes are usually steep, vertical with some large overhanging roofs.


Getting There 

From Durango, drive north on HWY 550 towards Purgatory Ski Area. Continue north past the ski area for a few more miles to where the road makes a sharp U-turn to the right. You will see a sign for Cascade Creek and a dirt road. Park a short distance up the dirt road and look for a climbers trail heading down into the canyon on the right side. There is a limited amount of parking on the side of the dirt road, but this is usually not a problem.
