Tollhouse Rock is a climbing area in the High Sierra Ranger District of Sierra National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Hippo Wall and Cap Rocks both about 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Auberry show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 75°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits well below the rock, so temperatures up high run cooler. Dorabelle Campground is about 7 miles away, and Bob's Flat Trail and the High Sierra RD fishing access are each about 7 miles off. Swanson Campground is roughly 7.5 miles away.
