Climbing at Hidden Valley is world-class. It’s a mecca for SoCal climbers and during the winter, those from NorCal come down to play. It’s the first place we started bouldering outdoors, so it has a special place in our hearts.

The campground is also popular for climbers, so get there early if you want a campsite.

The grades at Jtree are sandbagged (much harder than other places we’ve climbed), so if you can crush them, it’s legit. Think 1-2 grades harder than other outdoor spots, 2-3 grades harder than most gyms.

If you don’t climb, there’s also the Hidden Valley Loop (1 mi, easy), where you can watch climbers in action.
