Description
Desert domes of quartz monzonite on a ridge that rises from east to west. Rock quality is similar to Joshua Tree and approaches are varied, with some house-sized boulders complicating the approaches to the higher domes. Bounded on the south by Grapevine Canyon, a popular hike, and on the north by the road to Christmas Tree Pass, the area sees very few visitors. First developed from 1977 -1980 by Andy Solow and Dick Richardson, there was renewed development and ongoing bolt replacement in the early 2000s by John Gonzales, Gerry Cox, Mike Baca, and their SCMA crew. It is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
