Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

This free-standing sandstone fin is located in the Klondike Bluffs area of the park north of the Marching Men and south of Tower Arch.

Getting There

Walk about 1km west on the trail to Tower Arch from the Klondike Bluffs trailhead. Buffalo Rock on the right just after a short uphill sandy section of the trail. Go around the backside and you will see the majestic line of the Buffalo Crack.
