Description

Smile Wall is an okay quartzite sport crag with cryptic and technical climbing. The rock is unique compared to anything else in the area and it is relatively steep for the county.

Getting There

Park at the trailhead right past the Copper gas station, then walk or ride east on the bike path for a mile. Pass the big lake below the crag, then cut back west through the avalanche path. There isn't much of a trail at the moment for the last quarter mile. It is a 25 minute approach at an average pace.

You can also park at Officer’s Gulch TH then walk or ride west on the bike path
