Description Suggest change

Scattered, quality crags around the beautiful Red Spring Picnic Area. These are often the most easily accessed cliffs in Red Rock, boasting a short drive and (usually) short approaches. Many of the cliffs face east/northeast and will be shaded in the afternoon or earlier. This is the lowest elevation climbing area in Red Rock and is slightly warmer as a result.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the Red Spring Picnic Area parking lot, or just outside on the gravel if the lot is full. For Cannibal Crag and any crags further northwest, an alternative (slightly shorter) approach is available by parking on gravel at the corner of Sandstone Dr and Assisi Canyon Ave.
