Heise Rock (Elephant Rock) is a popular climb even though it is small. Most evenings and weekends during the Spring, Summer and Fall, there is usually someone challenging one of the 19 pitches ranging from 5.6 to 5.13. When you are tired of climbing, you can soak in the Heise Hot pools less than a mile away.

Directions. Heise Rock is located 26 miles east of Idaho Falls and about the same distance south of Rexburg. From Idaho Falls take highway 26 east towards Palisades Reservoir. Travel past the Ririe turnoff, continuing through the farms until you come to the turn marked Heise Hot Spring. Travel north following the signs to the hot springs. The road meanders around a little until it crosses the Snake river, where it turns to the right, heading east, hugging the hillside. You will eventually pass Heise Hot Springs, the associated campground and golf course. Continue another 1/4 mile. The Heise Rock is just off the road, on the left. The parking is limited, so be careful. Heise Rock is located on PRIVATE LAND. Be respectful and haul out your garbage.
