Description

This is a fairly unremarkable pile of rocks near the top of a ridge the contains the north side of Real Hidden Valley. If one looks hard enough, the shape of an elephant can be made out near the top of this formation. It is up and to the left of Snake Dome (see this picture) Sunny most of the day.

Getting There

Take the Real Hidden Valley Interpretive trail to the right, as if going to Sports Challenge Wall or Hidden Tower. Continue on this trail as it weaves its way down some stone steps past the north face of Sports Challenge. Looking up and to the right at the base of the steps is this wall.
