56 MAPLE CANYON ROCK CLIMBING

Located in the Uinta National Forest west of Freedom, Maple Canyon is one of the top locations in the world for rock climbing. Its rock walls are filled with thousands of embedded cobblestones, proving diverse climbing opportunities to match any climbing skill. Maple Canyon is a cool place to climb in the summer heat due to the shade provided by the narrow canyons. The canyon offers hundreds of established climbing routes that range from walls less than 10 feet high to hundreds of feet tall. For more advanced climbers, there are several large overhangs. The area also offers other activities such as hiking, ATV trails, camping, picnicking and more.

The Ferron to Mayfield State Scenic Backway has a length of 48 miles. Allow three to four hours for travel.

Winding up Twelve Mile Canyon from Mayfield, this backway begins and ends in the pinyon-juniper country but climbs to well over 10,000 feet while passing through stands of aspen and conifer.

Angler destinations such as Town Reservoir, Ferron Reservoir and Willow Lake are located along this route. This gravel route is accessible to passenger cars during the summer and fall and becomes a snowmobiler’s haven during the winter.
