Description

Best described in Brad Singer's guide book Hidden Treasures " Known also as the "Center of the Universe" this beautiful meadow is central to much of the climbing in the Pinnacles." From the meadow formations such as The Ugly Wall, The Butt, Wang Dang Doodle and The Skull among others can be reached. Much of the vegetation in the area was burned in a 2016 fire making many of the areas more accessible.

Getting There

Take the main summit trail for about a mile before forking left or west when the large Skull formation comes into view. Allow 20-30 minutes for the approach.
