Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

Hardscrabble Tower is the prominent tower seen on the left while looking south from points North of the Hardscrabble section of the White Rim Road (south of the Taylor Canyon intersection).

This is a high quality full thickness Wingate tower with a spectacular summit.

Getting There

Just inside the Island in the Sky park boundary, take a right on Mineral Bottom Road. After the decent to Mineral Bottom hang a left and drive to the tower. The White Rim is four wheel drive.
