Colorado Crags › Colorado climbing areas › Lyons
Lyons climbing, Colorado — 710 climbs across 2 named crags, with sport, trad, bouldering and top-rope breakdowns, a full grade spread, and a family-friendly score of 4/5 (est.). Top crags: St. Vrain Canyons, The Lion's Den.
Routes can count in more than one style, so style counts add up to more than the total climbs. A few climbs are ungraded, so the grade bands may add up to slightly less.
4 / 5 Great with kids. Strong family potential on the numbers — lots of easy climbing, so the deciding factor is the individual crag's approach and base.
Estimate from OpenBeta grade & style counts only — approach, base, and shade are not in OpenBeta. Not a safety rating: check the specific wall's approach, base, and current access before bringing a small child.
No permit or fee — Hall Ranch is Boulder County Open Space (no dogs, day use only), and the St. Vrain Canyon crags are in Roosevelt National Forest. Check the county page for closures.
