Due to a lapse in federal funding, this USDA website will not be actively updated. Once funding has been reestablished, online operations will continue. On-going operational updates will be posted here (https://www.fs.fed.us/shutdown) as we are able to provide them.
Rock climbing, rappelling, ice climbing and mountaineering are technical and unique ways to experience America’s public land. Our parks, forests and wilderness areas offer experiences that cater to every ability level from beginner to expert. Take a guided climb or simply hone your skills and have fun at a climbing wall. Climbing fees and seasonal restrictions may vary from site to site. For information about a particular site, please call the local ranger station.
