Camp, Hike, Mountain Bike, and Rock Climb
Maple Canyon is a fantastic place for hiking, rock climbing, and camping. This maple tree-filled canyon is one of the nation's most unique rock climbing areas and is well-known for sport climbing. Climbers from around the world come to test their skills on Maple Canyon's one-of-a-kind cliffs. On any given weekend climbers of all abilities, ranging from novice to expert, can be seen testing their skills on the cobblestone cliffs. The canyon also provides great bouldering opportunities. The canyon has over 40 cliffs all ranging from 30 - 300 feet. There are over 140 bolted routes available with climbing grades from 5.4 to 5.14.
The Maple Canyon campground provides multiple single family sites. Some of these sights require walking a short distance with your gear from the parking area. Vault toilets are provided, but there isn't any drinking water. This is a "pack in and pack out" site, so make sure to pack out all the garbage and things you brought with you.
There is so much to explore and do, you would be hard pressed to fit everything you want to do into one day here at Maple Canyon.
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
