Description

This is the buttress upstream (west) of Interiors Wall by a few miles. It is so called because the day I was there a couple of folks were camped at the base and the gal's chosen ensemble was a bikini and cowboy hat and boots. (Anyone who knows the real name please feel free to tell me, and I will update.)

Getting There

Drive past Interiors Wall Area about 4 miles. Look for a 4WD road up a wash that you can drive up or just as good park on the main road and walk. Easy 10 minute approach.
