The Valley of Kings Rock Climbing

This valley is best approached from Indian Cove (though it can be approached from Willow Hole, by passing down (east) the rocky gully between Lemon and Lime Domes). From the Rattlesnake Canyon Picnic Area, head up the Rattlesnake Canyon wash for about 400 yards; where the wash makes a sharp left turn (this is where you head right to reach the Corral Wall), the terrain become more jumbled; stay right of the wash/rocky stream on slabs until you head up through a notch; above drop back into the main wash. Follow the wash as it turns right (west)and levels and continue west for several hundred yards; past The Pyramid and Commissioner's Buttress.

At this point you can see a huge boulder field (the actual watercourse of the Wonderland Wash) coming down the hillside to your left (south). Head up this toward a notch in the hillside. Where the watercourse levels a bit, stay right and eventually reach a large relatively level valley. The Helmet will be seen almost directly ahead, the Valley of Kings runs to the left (east). Lemon & Lime Domes will be seen off to the right. Plan on about 1 hour to reach this point.
