Headed down to Maple Canyon about a month ago for a day trip. We left from Salt Lake at about 11am and made it in 1.5 hours. Met up with some friends that had camped there and also my wife's twin sister and fam who had also traveled from SLC. We put up 3 routes all on the same wall and took turns watching the kiddos (3 total from 3 different families) and climbing. It was the first time we've had our kids at the wall so it was a pretty cool experience. In fact, my daughter had fairly recently begun to walk so it was her first day in shoes and she was killing it. Good sign for trails to come.

Awesome. I've never been to Maple but I'm always blown away that the conglomerate is so climbable. It looks like it would just crumble apart. Good stuff.
