Maple Canyon Rock Climbing

Maple Canyon is one of Utah’s most unique rock climbing areas. Climbers from around the world come to test their skills on Maple Canyon’s unique cliffs. On any given weekend climbers of all abilities, ranging from novice to expert, can be seen testing their skills.
Maple Canyon has more than 550 routes with climbing grades from 5.4 to 5.14 in difficulty. Routes are easily accessed from the road and various hiking trails.  Maple Canyon is a cool place to rock climb in Utah to avoid the summer heat. The narrow canyons provide plenty of shade and protection from the hot sun. Rock in the canyon consists of cobblestone-sized conglomerate that has eroded to form cliffs and an impressive natural arch. The arch can be found along the Middle Fork trail, which begins at the campground.
