Pulling pockets at the Desert Skies Area


Description 

Located on the elevated West Rim, up-canyon from the West Rim Area, this area offers great moderate pocket problems with some easy and hard stuff too.


Getting There 

Walking up canyon, the West Rim is the rock band that runs along the entire left side of the canyon at the top of the hill. Desert Skies is on the Rim adjacent to the Happy Boulder Area.
