Cartoon Crag is a climbing area in Utah, about half a mile from the town of Veyo. It sits right alongside several other climbing spots, including Rubicon, The, Flytrap, The and Integrity Wall, The, all within a tenth of a mile. That makes it easy to build a day of climbing around the cluster. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 65°F in April to about 71°F in October, while July highs average about 92°F and January lows dip near 28°F. For an overnight stay, Baker Dam Campground is about 4 miles away. The Santa Clara River, about 5 miles off, offers canoeing, and Snow Canyon Overlook and Red Mountain are both hikes roughly 5 miles from the crag.
