Hummingbird Corridor is a climbing area in Idaho's City of Rocks National Reserve, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among a cluster of climbing corridors, with Cannibal Corridor and Transformer Corridor each about 0.1 mile away and Bumblie Rock at a similar distance. The area is known for its sport climbing, with five routes all rated between 5.11c/d and 5.12b. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 75°F to 74°F and lows near 50°F. That station sits about 23 miles away and roughly 500 feet lower, so temperatures at the climbing area run a little cooler. The routes in Hummingbird Corridor were all established by Rich Scott in the early 1990s. They include No Self Control at 5.11c/d, Magic Journey at 5.11d, and Black Magic at 5.12a. For a walk, the Bumblie Wall Trail starts about 0.2 mile away, and Independence Lakes Campground is roughly 10 miles off.
