Deer Creek Crag is a climbing area in Colorado, about 0.3 miles from the town of Phillipsburg. It sits right next to town, making it an easy stop for climbers heading into the area.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 68°F and lows near 41°F in May to highs around 77°F and lows near 48°F in September. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the crag, so temperatures here may run slightly cooler. Several other climbing areas and trails are close by.
