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. 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.
Maple Canyon has more than 100 bolted routes with ratings from 5.4 to 5.14 in difficulty. Routes are easily accessed from the road and various hiking trails. Photo by Jason Stevens.
