Description

Freeze Creek is private property belonging to the Emigration Oaks Home Owners Association. If visiting Freeze Creek, please park discreetly at the locked gate and hike up avoiding littering or loud noise. It is definitely secluded and a fun place to visit, but unless you live there...it is technically discouraged to visit. I don't foresee any problems for the climber/hiker following the trail to the crags...it is beautiful hiking with great views of the central Wasatch. Cross 6 nice foot bridges before reaching the limestone Freezer Buttress.

The upper Freeze Creek Buttress is sandstone face and friction climbing and requires some bushwhacking.
Entering Freeze Creek does not put the hiker or climber on some one's property or backyard. This is common ground to the EO Association.

Getting There

This is in Emigration Canyon in the Emigration Oaks residential area. For Freeze Creek, drive past Ruth's Diner one mile to Pioneer Fork Road. Drive up PFR about 1.5 miles. Freeze Creek is unmarked except for a green locked gate on the north side of the road. Park here and then start hiking.
Freezer Buttress is the first north facing limestone crag one encounters on the left side of the trail while hiking north. The sandstone crags are at the head of the drainage.
