The new guidebooks, Green (2010) and Schmitt (2013), show many new routes in the 5.8 to 5.10 range. Several of these routes have high first bolts with poor landings, a stick clip and additional protection is advised.

Camping is better reserved during the prime summer months. Coming early will not guarantee a spot. These sites now cost $16 per night.

Getting There Suggestion

From Colorado Springs (I-25) head west on US-24 through Manitou Springs, past Woodland Park, Divide, and on to Lake George. Look for a blue road sign to County Road 96 and head south for a mile to the canyon entrance. Mileage for rocks starts at this turnoff.

Pay a $9 in cash or check (up in 2023) day-use fee (State Park passes are NOT valid), and drive a few miles to the first major rock formations.
