Great climbing for all levels! Jackson's Thumb was a 4pitch climb and even my 11 and 10 year old completed it! They have climbed before but not this high. It was quite an accomplishment.

Great granite blocks! Hikers will enjoy scrambling among them, and climbers recognize this place as among the highest concentrations of quality moderate trad routes in the country. Great place to acclimitize before heading to higher peaks. Hikers - please know your limits, the climbers you may see free soloing or roped climbing have trained in ways you haven't.

This place has a ton of hiking πŸ₯Ύ trails and as most of you know, it has all levels of rock climbing. πŸ§—β€β™‚οΈ I, myself, do not do any climbing other than into my bed every night. πŸ›ŒπŸ˜ The rock formations are pretty cool. 😎 There’s plenty of places to camp but I’m not a camper either. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈSo we stayed in a hotel nearby. I just like to take pictures πŸ“Έof these beautiful sites and the adventurer’s. So, here’s some of my photos.

The roads are completely toll free and shouldn't be closed at night. You do need to reserve and pay for campground spaces though if you plan on setting up tents or trailers.

The road to the upper city is closed due to road conditions not suitable for traffic. The road past bath rock is still covered with snow. Last weekend I got stuck at the campsite just west of the bath rock parking area.

Can the roads be driven in a car or do you need a off road vehicle

We drove through in out our old 84 VA Vangon. It doesn't have a high clearence due to the propane tank mounted on the bottom. We had to drive slow, especially in some spots but we made it through just fine.

We plan on arriving tonight, to camp. Is the fee spot a box that we can leave our money in? We will likely be arriving after 4:30, therefore leaving the visitor center, closed. We will only be staying one night. Thank you

Near Bath Rock and the Restrooms there is a Fee Box in the camp site.

I have a kid in a wheelchair. Are there accessible pathways for him to see enough to make it interesting for him?

Tara McCarty | Jun 6, 2019
Bonnie Wylde | Jun 7, 2019

There are some spots that are near the road such ad the rock signed by thr settlers, Elephant Rock is best viewed from the road to see the full effect. The pathes are all rock or dirt so if his wheelchair can handle that i would say yes.

are campfires allowed?

Gary Taylor | Jun 6, 2019
David Schmidt | Jun 7, 2019

They are allowed only in the campsite fire rings.
