Leading hikers from Queen Mountain down to the Wonderland of Rocks

Sometime later I was confident to lead a group from the *Canyon Explorers Club* through this route. Here we are, taking the correct route down from the west side of Queen Mountain to the *Crossroads* area of the Wonderland. That's me in the white hat, carrying an absurdly large day-pack. I love the view from this point, showing four zones, Queen Mountain, where were are, the Wonderland of Rocks, and in the background, Quail Mountain (JTNP's highest peak), and behind that, the peak of Mt. San Jacinto. Hiking this route, this is invariably the spot to take a lunch break and take in the view.

Sharktooth Rock and Mt. San Gorgonio are just out of view to the right.
