Hide-and-Seek Crag is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office in Nevada. It sits among a cluster of other crags, with Cut Your Teeth Crag, Black Wall (aka Happy Acres) and Janes Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The Calico Basin Trail and Guardian Angel hikes are each about 0.2 mile off, so the crag pairs easily with a walk. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F and October highs around 75°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. The area has five sport routes, all rated between 5.7 and 5.10a. The easiest is "Everywhere" at 5.7, and the hardest is "Here" at 5.10a. Red Rock Canyon Campground, about 3 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
