The Smoke Shop
This area is located about 1 mile west of the town of 29 Palms and is the next canyon west of the PETA Crags area. There are three climbs at the Smoke Shop; All three are sport climbs. To get to the Smoke Shop, drive east from Joshua Tree about 12 miles until you see the John's Place on the left (north). Turn right onto Hatch Rd. and continue another 1/2 mile until you come to El Sol. Turn right (south) on El Sol and take it to it's end. Park here and hike into the obvious canyon to the south. At the mouth of the canyon you will find Cigarettes Are Good For You and Hookah. Allow about 20 minutes for the approach.
