* [[Joshua Tree National Park]] - (Top destination for California scouts) Hidden Valley is a self-guiding, one-mile loop trail that winds among massive boulders through what was believed to be a legendary cattle rustlers' hideout. It is one of the most popular and scenic hiking trails in Joshua Tree National Park. The area is also a popular rock-climbing area. Many visitors enjoy just watching the climbers in action. | |||
* [https://www.mountainproject.com/area/112837543/lava-tube Lava Tubes Rock Climbing] - (Spelunking) - A volcanic cave underground with short, highly featured overhung routes on very sharp rock. Be prepared to brush dust off your cloths, gear and holds (bring a brush). Crash pads would be ideal, though a top rope can be set where the hole in the ceiling is, in the center of the cave's largest room. | |||
* [https://www.hikespeak.com/trails/craters-of-the-moon-caves-trail/ ''Boy Scout Cave'' - Craters of the Moon National Monument] - The entrances to Boy Scout Cave is so small you have to crawl inside and barely have room to stand. The final tunnel on the trail, Beauty Cave, has a walk-in entrance leading to an intensely dark corridor. | |||
