PRINT: Rock Climbing in Casa Grande, Central Arizona

Casa Grande

Arizona > Central Arizona

Access Issue: Stay on the Casa Grande side of North Mountain Park. Details

These rock formations overlap on the Gila River Indian Community. Climbing is not permitted on their sovereign territory. Please be respectful of the tribal land so that their community does not have to complain to the City of Casa Grande about climbers on the Casa Grande side of the park.

Description

Tucked inside Casa Grande itself, there are some rough granite rock formations in North Mountain Park. Easy to find. Fun to climb. Drive up, park, and start climbing.

Important Notes:

Watch out for Gila monsters and bee hives in cracks.
North Mountain Park park closes at sunset.
Camping is allowed only by permit.
See map of routes (below). Area in blue is off limits to climbing.

You can watch this video to see what the area is like. I took this video when climbing with my son Michael: Michael Climbing in Casa Grande
