The Cove is a climbing area in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Maximum Main Wall, Maximum, The and Mini Max all about 0.1 mile away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Electric Lake weather station, about 25 miles away, show July highs around 74°F with lows near 41°F, and fewer wet days than any other month. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the Cove, so temperatures here run cooler. Maple Canyon campground is about half a mile away, and the Right Fork Trail starts about 0.2 mile off. The Middle Fork Maple Trail and Box Canyon Trail are also within a mile.
