Breadloaves is a climbing area in Idaho's City of Rocks National Reserve, managed by the National Park Service. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, including Upper Breadloaves - West and Upper Breadloaves - East, and the Tea Kettle Trail lies about 0.1 mile away. The area is a traditional climbing destination. Four routes are listed, all rated between 5.6 and 5.7 on the YDS scale. They are Breezeway, Featured Face, Hough's Crack and Intruding Dike, and all are trad routes. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Rosette, Utah, show July highs around 86°F with lows near 59°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. That station sits about 1,200 feet lower than the reserve, so temperatures at Breadloaves run cooler. Independence Lakes Campground is about 9.5 miles away for anyone planning an overnight stay.
