Description

The Fort is a 40+ spire of rock a few hundred yards down the road toward Dark Canyon campground. You must park at the upper gate because there is no parking anywhere on this road. The Fort is visible from the road.

Getting There

Park at the upper gate of Dark Canyon campground, or you can approach from Fern Basin Campground. Walk down the road a few hundred yards. The Fort is visible at a long bend in the road. Look to your left, West.
