Seasonal access (03-15 to 06-30)
Closed for Mojave Desert Tortoise mating habitat protection — Red Cliffs Desert Reserve closes Black Rocks entirely for Desert Tortoise breeding — no access to the crag. Enforced closure.

About Black Rocks (St George)

Black Rocks is St George's basalt option — short black basalt walls minutes from town in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, split into a southeast-facing Sunny Side and a northwest-facing Shady Side. Perfect rainy-day / wet-sandstone alternative because basalt shrugs off rain that would sideline the surrounding Navajo sandstone crags. for Desert Tortoise mating — the crag is completely off-limits during the closure. Best season is November through mid-March.

Region: St George
Rock type: Basalt
Aspect: mixed-facing
Altitude: 3245 ft
