Coal Creek Rock Climbing
The Coal Creek area has seen a lot of attention recently, both for bouldering and sport climbing opportunities. The sport climbing takes place on the large red cliffs near the entrance of the canyon, on the same rock band the Redstone boulders come from. The bouldering is up the road at the large talus field and the rock for the most part is excellent, more reminiscent of Dakota sandstone, but harder.
To get here, follow Hwy 133 south out of Carbondale. Go just past the second Redstone entrance and take a right on the county road leading back into Coal Basin.
