Eldorado Canyon is noted for multi-pitch, traditionally protected, sandstone rock climbs on cliffs up to seven hundred feet high. Routes typically involve intricate and devious face climbing, interspersed with dihedrals and discontinuous, irregular cracks, where traditional removable gear placement skills are mandatory.

Only a few bolted sport routes can be found in the canyon. Top roping opportunities exist but are somewhat limited and generally require gear to rig.

Parking available at Eldorado Canyon State Park Visitor Center with access to trails that lead to climbing areas.
