The Coronado National Forest offers year-round climbing with sport and trad routes for all levels. Stunning granite rock faces punctuate the landscape, ranging from saguaro-studded Sonoran Desert at lower elevations to mixed-conifer forest at the top of the sky island mountain ranges. Be aware that many crags require difficult approaches over rugged terrain. Please visit and climb with respect; many areas are culturally significant to Indigenous people.
As the popularity of rock climbing increases, it is becoming more important that everyone help prevent resource damage. Removable hardware and temporary anchors are preferred. Pack it in; pack it out. Climbers are responsible for making sure they are on public land open to climbing. Remember, your safety is your responsibility when recreating on National Forest System lands.
Climbing Association of Southern Arizona (CASA) is an official partner of the Coronado National Forest. Visit their website to learn more about climbing in the region, as well as opportunities to get involved in climbing stewardship.
DISCLAIMER: The Coronado National Forest does not inspect, maintain, or repair bolts and other climbing equipment anywhere in the Forest.
