| Aiguille de Joshua Tree: the Finger of Hercules |
Aiguille means "a sharp pinnacle of rock in a mountain range". I discovered a very unique fingerlike pinnacle exists in Joshua Tree National Park in several pictures and when I finally discovered its location, I wanted to visit. It is very easy to find in the Hidden Valley section of the park. Walking to it is level and it takes less than 30 minutes to reach the base. I climbed up a few boulders to reach this vantage point and then took my best shot. I wanted to include the surrounding valley of Joshua trees to give it a strong sense of location.
This formation is often photographed with a climber standing atop the pinnacle. My fear of heights and lack of rock climbing skill made that option undesirable. :(
