I talked to Barry Johnson about his decision to raise the Day Use Fee at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. He is allowing me to break this news.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this article as you’ll find out how Barry continues to extend his generosity by offering a discount for the Season Pass.

DETAILS: Beginning August 1, 2016 the Day Use Pass at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch will increase to $10 per day. The Season Pass will increase to $100 (good for 1 year from date of purchase. The Camping Fee remains $5 per night.

The price increase is “not (to make) more money necessarily; but to manage the resources more carefully.”
“And, to be quite honest, lessen the impact and provide an even better experience for the community.”

I fully support the price increase.

Barry and his family have shared their piece of heaven with the climbing community and has not raised the prices to climb for 15 years.

Since I’ve started climbing at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in 2007, Barry has added:

The super convenient bathrooms and showers
The impressive pavilion with electrical outlets to charge my phone
Jason and Morgan continue to bolt new routes and maintain all of the hardware and fixed gear
They’ve added the coffee shop inside of the Trading Post

All of these improvements have made Horseshoe Canyon Ranch a world-class destination for climbing and relaxing.

I hope you will agree: I am willing to pay more for climbing at HCR without a single thought of complaining.

I did ask Barry if there was anything that we, as climbers and campers, could do better for the ranch right now. Barry said:

Sign in and pay your fees
Pick up your trash
Be a good citizen – a good neighbor. Be considerate of other people.
Don’t be shy – watch out for your fellow climbers. Watch out for the ranch. If somebody is not wearing a wristband, chances are they have not signed off on their waiver. Well, that is a threat to everyone’s access. It is okay to say, “I’ve noticed you’re not wearing a wristband…”
Please be considerate. Please be respectful. Please obey the rules.
