How to go climbing at Hueco Tanks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning on visiting Hueco Tanks State Park during the winter climbing season?
\nYou read online and abroad it can be difficult to get access. It can be without advanced reservations. You need to understand the dynamics behind the park system.<\/p>\n

You can make reservations for North Mountain access way in advance (90 days) and or join volunteer back country bouldering tours 1 week in advance. Self-Guided on North Mountain is $7.00 per person per day or you can purchase the annual Texas State Parks Pass for $70.00. This pass also allows everyone in the vehicle to enter without additional charges or fees. This is a great way to save money when visiting for a long period of time.<\/p>\n

Make Reservations Before the Season Begins!<\/strong><\/span>
\nHueco Tanks Climbing Season Begins in October and ends in March<\/strong><\/span>
\nSet your alarm clock or calendar and call the reservation line beginning in September.\u00a0 You can make reservations up to 90 days in advance. Remember to continue to call and make reservation as the 90 day reservation window moves across the calendar. This is the single most important rule to follow if you want to have an affordable visit. Note: by the end of October ALL North Mountain self-guided slots will be taken through the end of January!<\/span><\/p>\n
