Willow Springs South is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office in Nevada, about 6.5 miles from Red Rock Canyon Campground. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas and trails, so it works well as part of a larger day or longer stay in the canyon country. 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 averages near 95°F. That station sits about 940 feet lower than this area, so temperatures at Willow Springs South run cooler.
