The Rest Home is a climbing area in Utah, about 6 miles from the town of North View. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with the Lower Tier and Graveside Matter Slab climbing areas and the Blowhard Trail all within about half a mile. The climbing here is mostly sport, with a few trad and boulder routes. Of the seven routes listed, five are sport, and the grades run from 5.10a up to 5.12-. Seniors Rule is a 5.10a sport route, and Trial By Stone is a 5.12b boulder problem. The hardest route is What a Drag it is Getting Old, a 5.12- sport climb. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 85°F. That station sits about 1,200 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at The Rest Home run cooler. Nearby, the High Mountain Trail is about 2 miles away, and Deer Haven campground is roughly 4 miles off. Navajo Lake, about 9 miles away, offers lake fishing, and Coal Creek, about 6 miles away, is a canoeing spot.
