Hidden Valley is a highlight of Joshua Tree National Park: a small pocket valley, ringed with rocky walls like this granite rampart. These are prime ground for climbers because of the sound rock and abundant handholds and footholds. Notice the strong fabric of vertical and horizontal jointing here.
