Description Suggest change

Cave Springs Campground on the west side of Oak Creek Canyon is your entrance to both new school sport and trad routes at The Doctors Office and break neck old school test pieces such as Dresdoom, Book of Friends, and more. If you are looking for shade on a warm day The Doctor's Office is a welcome treat. These areas are all sandstone which runs from pretty good to god awful.

Getting There Suggest change

Park before the bridge. Cross the bridge, then find climbers trail which quickly ascends the West bank of the creek. Follow this trail to The Outpatient Area, The Reception Area, The Doctors Office, and The Pharmacy. Check individual pages for the old school routes.
