Millennium Crag is a climbing area within Eldorado Canyon State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots in the park, with Petit Bastille and Bastille - W Face, The just 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and October highs around 64°F, while July peaks near 87°F and January lows drop to about 23°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the crag, so temperatures up high run cooler. Other places to explore are close by: Fowler Trail for mountain biking and Streamside Trail for hiking are each within a third of a mile. For overnight stays, Winiger Ridge campground is about 5 miles away.
