Red Rock Canyon Open Space



This lesser known park is located just south of the famous Garden of The Gods. Red Rock Canyon is made up of slabby Sandstone walls up to 100ft tall! This local secret and beginner friendly climbing area is where we teach the majority of our courses and clinics and is recommend for any large groups or groups with small children!
