Euro Dog Valley is a climbing area in Arizona's Tonto National Forest, within the Globe Ranger District, about 30 miles from Globe. The Forest Service manages the land. The climbing here is a mix of sport routes and bouldering, with 17 routes in total. The sport routes range from 5.8 to 5.12a, and the bouldering sits between V0 and V3. Among the sport routes, S. O. S. is 5.10b and Mrs. Beisley's Fudgesickle Stand is 5.10a. The bouldering at Campground boulders is about half a mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Superior weather station show April highs around 78°F and November highs around 72°F, while July highs reach about 99°F. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet lower than the valley, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Oak Flat campground is just 0.3 miles away, and Campground boulders and Barracuda Boulders are each about half a mile off. For a hike, the Legends of Superior Trail is about 2.3 miles away.
