Access Issue: Echo Canyon Seasonal Closure: Jan. 1 - second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) Details

The Echo Canyon climbing areas are located within the Henefer-Echo Wildlife Management Area. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources closes all access to the WMA each year from January 1 to the second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) to protect wintering wildlife.

Description

The Roadside Crag is a short wall (35'-50') that sits about a half mile East of the Dry Wall. It basically touches the road, so there is no approach, and there aren't many options for parking. There are currently 9 routes ranging from 5.7- to 5.10b. They are well protected with many bolts.

Getting There

Approach as per the Dry Wall, continue East for about a half mile until you see the short wall and all the shiny new bolts. The boulders on the topo are also a good landmark to watch for.
