Lizard Lake Rock Climbing

Drive through downtown Marble, CO continuing on CR 3 which will turn to dirt after Beaver Lake. Continue up Daniel’s Hill turning right towards the town of Crystal and Schofield Pass. The right will take you down a steep hill which is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. Cross a small bridge at the bottom of the hill, and continue to Lizard Lake on bumpy road. Subarus have made it down here, but higher clearance is strongly recommended. Park at North end or South end of Lizard Lake. I prefer the south end approach. Gain obvious trail that circles Lizard Lake. After a couple minutes, you will take a right just before large boulders at water’s edge. Follow climber’s trail to base of cliff. From Lizard Lake, the approach is about 5 minutes. It is possible to park just before taking the right towards Crystal. There is limited parking in this area. It only adds 10 minutes onto the approach and saves a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle.
