Crag features

The granite trad area in Utah. Most of the climbs are on the sunnier, north side of the canyon, but shade may be found for those hot summer days. In addition, there are some north-facing classic routes to be found on the south side of the canyon. Whether you are south-north between the desert monsters of Southern Utah and Idaho's City of Rocks or west-east between Yosemite and Colorado's great granite troves, the Wasatch Canyon is definitely worth a stop.

Good campsites. It is very close to Salt Lake City. However, despite this you feel a world away from the city - the scene is wild and occasionally sublime.
