Description

Animal Cracker Rock

is in close proximity to the popular Parking Lot Rock. Not many routes are on this rock, but one really quality route, the namesake is on the southwest side.

Getting There

From the main road through City of Rocks, drive to the Parking Lot Rock. Park here and follow a trail leftwards out of the parking area. Pass by one rock (Window Rock) on a well established trail, and then find Animal Cracker rock on your right. This is identifiable by a thin flake which leads into a left facing dihedral offwidth crack (Animal Cracker).
