Description

Tahitian Rocks is a fairly large formation with only a few bolted routes. The climbing is on the West face, so it is shady and cool until the afternoon.

Getting There

From the main City of Rocks road, get on to the Circle Creek Overlook road. This junction is on the East side of the City. Drive to the end of this road, then park at the lot. Take a road/trail west from here. This approach is roughly 30 minutes that will require you to walk through a total of 3 gated fences on a dirt road/path. Follow the road as it curves towards the Tahitian rocks. This formation is a short walk north of the road after encountering the 3rd gated fence.
