Hall of Horrors - 3.11.2018
The signed parking area for 'Hall of Horrors' is located .75 miles west of Sheep Pass on Park Boulevard in Joshua Tree National Park.
|
Like so many places in the park... Hall of Horrors is an awesome collection of rocks... the pile of rock that houses the hall is behind the pile that is visible from the parking area.
|
We walked around the right side of the pile of rocks that is visible from the road... and now we can see the pile that houses the hall... now we will walk to the west end of the pile and search for the entrance to the hall.
|
The unsigned entrance to 'Hall of Horrors' is straight ahead.
