Description

Really interesting tafoni (honey-combed) rock wall that is very unique from all the other rock formations in the Paradise Valley area. Extremely fragile in places and rock hard in others. It's a fairly short wall that is only about 20m at it's highest point. However, the beauty of the rock, late afternoon shade, and the short approach make this crag worth a visit.

Getting There

Drive 3 miles (10 minutes) NE past Hinkey Summit on Hinkey Summit Road. Park way off to the side in a wider area of the road. Parking coordinates: 41.688797° -117.516535°.

Hike NW about 600 feet (5 minutes) up sagebrush cattle trails through a small boulder field to get to the middle portion of the wall.

*See overview map for parking spot and approach trail.
