Garner State Park is a Texas state park managed by State Park and Recreation, and its climbing area sits within the park's boundaries. It is a small, compact destination with two named routes, so it works well as a stop alongside the park's other trails and the Frio River. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Camp Wood show April highs around 80°F and October highs around 81°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. The climbing area has two routes. Chris Cross is a boulder problem rated 5.2, and Photobomb is a mixed route rated 5.10a. Both are short, and the park's hiking trails start within a mile, including Old Baldy Trail and White Rock Cave Trail. The Frio River is about a mile away for fishing, and the Dry Frio River, about 7 miles off, offers canoeing.
