Description

Screamer Rocks is a large formation, not far from the end of the road at Split Rocks, which features a pair of narrow corridors providing shade and wind protection as well as a number of interesting routes.

Getting There

Approach via the well-defined trail from the parking area at Split Rocks to a point just past Grand Canyon and head right (north) to the obvious large formation. The approach takes roughly 5-10 minutes.
