High Creek Canyon is a climbing area in the Mount Naomi Wilderness, part of the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. The Forest Service manages the land, and the canyon sits within designated wilderness, which sets it apart as a backcountry destination rather than a developed recreation site. The climbing here is bouldering-focused, with five routes in total. Four are boulders graded from V0 to V2 on the V scale, and one is an alpine route. The boulders include B-Team at V0, My other brother Darrell at V0, Up your face at V1 and -20 Degrees at V2. The alpine route is the only one with a YDS grade of 5.7. Smithfield Dry Canyon, a climbing area, is just 0.4 miles away, and the Smithfield Dry Trail is 0.5 miles off. For an overnight stay, Smithfield Campground is about 2.6 miles away, and the Logan River offers canoeing roughly 3.1 miles from the canyon.
