Description

This nondescript face sits just to the right of Elephant Dome (see this picture) and can be identified by the dead tree at its base. Sunny most of the day.

Getting There

Take the Real Hidden Valley Interpretive trail to the right, as if going to Sports Challenge Wall or Hidden Tower. Continue on this trail as it weaves its way down some stone steps past the north face of Sports Challenge. Looking up and to the right at the base of the steps is this wall.
