Why it is called Rock Canyon, Provo, Utah


It is easy to see why this short canyon is called "Rock Canyon." It is a very popular climbing spot and on weekends and holidays, it is crowded with climbers on every climbable cliff. I did most of my early rock climbing in the canyons on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley to the north of Utah Valley. But it is too bad that we didn't know about Rock Canyon at the time. Little Cottonwood Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon were much closer. Of course, that was more than fifty years ago and I am sure that there were only a very few climbers in Rock Canyon back then.
