Granite Flume Rock Climbing

This large rock outcropping and little canyon to the east is directly across the road from the Ledgemere Picnic area and parking lot. A trail leading toward the trail that formerly held the aqueduct paralleling Big Cottonwood Canyon's North flank starts right across the street from Ledgemere, at the upper part of the parking area.  Initially, blocked by boulders, this well known trail leads west and begins as a paved asphalt trail for about 100’.  At the end of the asphalt section is a great view of the “dome” and the mini canyon.

At the junction with the larger trail, continue north—uphill—into the little canyon apparently known as the Granite Flume (on topo maps). Strange name because it is all quartzite.

It is only about 10-15min from the parking area to the mouth of Windy Canyon.
