Description
Misgivings about leaving the paved highway might not limit you to Utah’s more famous red rock settings, but it’s the state's little attractions that sometimes create some of the most memorable adventures.
Located in the Canyon Rims Recreation Area, Looking Glass Rock is one of those easier to find little gems. Far from the crowds of the nearby national parks, this huge rock wall was made from a large sandstone fin, complete with a picture window. Climbers find a bolted route up the southwest wall. And rappelling down through the porthole may be the highlight of this climb, but the views from the top are also quite superb. Buffeted about by a desert wind while hanging by thread will always add a ton of excitement to any climbing challenge. But you don't have to be a rock climber to enjoy this natural wonder.
