Description

The devil’s playground is a secluded granite area with over 500 routes. The area sits north of the Bovine Mountains which are at the southern end of the Grouse Creek Mountain range north west of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Devils Playground climbing consists of two main climbing areas: the Spires and the Main Devil’s Playground which are approximately 3 miles apart. Camping is dispersed across many square miles. There are no public facilities near the climbing: bring it in, pack it out. The climbing seasons are in spring from March through May and September through November; expect bugs and heat from sometime in May through September which make climbing and camping annoying.

Directions to Devil's Playground climbing

The Devil's Playground is 70 miles west of Snowville Utah and accessible by car. From Snowville (closest services: gas stations and restuarant), take Utah highway 30 about 60 miles, passing Park Valley and Rosette, to mile marker 33. Take a right (west) immediately before mile marker 33 to a generally well maintained dirt road (cars) and follow Forest Service Road 105, Emigrant Trail road, about 9 miles to Devil's Playground. At the sign, you can go left about three miles to the Spires climbing area and camping, straight up to hill for dispersed climbing and camping (high clearance) or take a left to the main Devil's Playground climbing and camping. The Devil's playground can also be reached from the south via Nevada 233 which intersects I-80 west of Wendover. Nevada 233 becomes Utah 30 in Utah and there is alternative access near mile marker 24; however, much of this road is not maintained and its condition may require high clearnace vehicles and 4x4 in some sections.
