I'll be camping in the Dixie National Forest with family in a couple weeks (May 7-11) and I'm wondering what are the best climbs in the area? I can lead sport into the mid-ten's and trad up to about 5.8 (any bouldering options appreciated as well). Don't really care about destination 5-star climbs, just any fun climbs that I don't have to drive too far from the camping area. Also if anyone has suggestions for dispersed camping in that area I would appreciate that as well. We are currently looking at the area around Navajo Lake. Cheers.

There's te-ah cg at Navajo Lake ... theres a ton of forest to camp in... probably the farther from duck creek proper the better(private prop.)... like strawberry or by mammoth caves or north towards brianhead and panguitch

Some of the best locations, including Navajo Lake will still be in snow

Thanks all. Any idea what elevation the snowline is at right now?
