dkemp Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The good folks at a local climb shop told me City of Rocks can be reached in 10 hours driving nonstop, but my pal tells me its much more than that. I searched cc.com and found lots about the City but no-one mentioned drive time. Anyone know the drive time from Seattle to City of Rocks?

EWolfe Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 it's actually closer to 14-16 hours, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cman Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 i have not been there, but i have driven to jackson hole several times, driving through Idaho, and have made it there in 14-15 hours. and that is quite a bit farther so i would think 10-11 hrs to the city would be about right. driving tip #1 -drive fast and stop rarely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 8 hours to Boise. 2-3 hours from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 It's a middling Grade IV, easily doable in a day but slow parties may bivouac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryland_moore Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Mister E is smoking crack or has the smallest bladder in the world. You could drive to Jackson and back to Idaho Falls in that time. It is probably 10-11 from Seattle. About 8-9 from Eugene, depending on traffic cutting across Hwy 20 to Burns, OR.

Thinker Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Don't drive. Fly to Boise or Pocatello or Salt Lake City, rent a car or pick up a partner, and head em on out to Almo. RT tix can be had for $69 quite regularly; check the Alaska Air webspecials and those of other airlines. That gets you at least one more day of climbing....probably 2. fyi, it's 700 driving miles from Seattle to Almo/The City. All but the last 50 or so miles is wide open interstate.
