Description Suggest change

There are many unclimbed towers and promising boulders in the area. Amazing potential here. You have to hike a ways though.

Getting There Suggest change

Travel to where Buckhorn Wash Road crosses the San Rafael River. On the north side of the river Mexican Mountain Road leads off east through a campground. Drive 4 to 6 miles down the dirt road to another obvious legal dirt road heading north (left). This heads into Red Canyon.
