Overview

Unaweep is virtually unknown rock climbing area, and an amazing bouldering destination.
The canyon is isolated and for the most part still remains raw, wild, and pristine.
Bouldering possibilities on Dakota Sandstone are unlimited from the head of Lower Creek Canyon to the top of the Nine Mile Hill. There are several turn offs into boulder areas from the main road 141, especially near the mile marker 149, and mile marker 147.
There are thousands of boulders, and there is primitive camping available on multiple dirt roads leading into the bouldering area.
Please note that bouldering is on Dakota Sandstone, but the climbing inside the main Unaweep Canyon is granite.
Boulders everywhere
Limitless bouldering possibilities
