Description

Cove Rock holds one of the best fingercracks in the canyon. This crag contains up to seven routes all of which are 5.11 or harder. It is a west facing crag with easy access. Worth a trip if you want to tick the classic Breakfast in America finger crack.

Getting There

Travel 8.1 miles down the canyon from the entrance. Look across the river for a crag with an obvious y-shaped finger crack in the middle. This is Cove Rock. You can turn right across a bridge into a picnic area and park somewhere in here. Sometimes the gate is closed and you park at the gate and walk in. Walk along the north end of the stream to the east until you hit Cove Rock
