Echo Canyon: Roadside Crag

Echo Canyon: Roadside Crag

 

Overall:four-cheerios

Zero approach but nothing easier than a 5.7 if you have some really small climbers.

Routes:three-cheerios

Eight routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.10a. There is a three-star 5.9+ that you will definitely enjoy but nothing easier for really small children.

These routes can be found at…

The Mountain Project

 Approach:five-cheerios

There is no approach. You can basically belay from the car.

Landing:four-and-a-half-cheerios

The area is kind of small so you might be somewhat on the road with your entourage of kids. But it is a great flat landing.

Traffic:five-cheerios

Not highly trafficked.

Extra Kid Fun:three-and-a-half-cheerios

The railroad tracks are across the road so you might get to see a train parked or go by which can be exciting.

Potential Dangers:three-and-a-half-cheerios

You are right next to the road and you have railroad tracks across the road. However, it is the frontage road that goes by the freeway so it gets zero traffic but watch your kids and make sure they understand the potential danger.
