Description

Weather is similar to Indian Cove, but a bit less sheltered from wind.

Getting There

On Hwy 62 (Twentynine Palms Hwy), approx 1 mile west of Copper Mountain College, turn south on Cascade and go until it dead-ends. Please park on Cascade, rather than Base Line (dirt road that it Tees into) to appease the landowners. Hike due south to the nearest formation. Once you hop the fence, you're in Joshua Tree National Park.

On the access photo, the rightmost hill, has a window in the top. You'll see this before you see the marker boulder pile.
