Spring Creek is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Cedar City Field Office in Utah. It sits about a tenth of a mile from the Spring Creek Trail, which makes the trail the natural way to approach the crags. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby New Harmony weather station show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 81°F, while July averages about 90°F and winter lows dip to about 21°F. Other climbing areas lie within a few miles, including North Fork of Taylor and Kolob Canyon. The Middle Taylor Creek Trail and South Fork of Taylor Creek Trail are also close by for hiking. Pyramid Ridge Campground, about 8 miles away, offers a place to stay.
