Climbing Destinations
Join Sierra Rock Climbing School on guided trips or rock climbing courses to various climbing areas across the U.S. and the world!
West Coast
Eastern Sierras, California
Let Sierra Rock Climbing School take you climbing or teach you rock climbing skills in the Eastern Sierras. Places like Owens River Gorge, Clark Canyon, Rock Creek, Mammoth Lakes and other climbing areas offer amazing climbing with easy to moderate approaches.
We offer classes and trips in Inyo National Forest. Some of these areas offer multi-pitch crack climbs, face climbs and alpine routes in elevations starting at 7,000 feet. Climbing in this gigantic range spanning from the eastern border of Yosemite National Park to Bishop area allows for breath-taking views and memorable experiences.
Southern California High Desert
In Southern California, Joshua Tree National Park boasts its world renowned quartz monzonite formations and world class climbing. This high desert environment is a must-see place during the spring for its seemingly unknown flora and fauna. Summers can get very hot here but during the fall and winter, Joshua Tree provides a great respite from the rain and cold weather.
S.F. Bay Area California
One of the premier locations for Rock Climbing Lessons and Guided trips is the Santa Cruz Mountains, where you can find marine sandstone formations at Castle Rock State Park. You can also enjoy routes on Summit Rock and Indian Rock which can be found at Skyline-Sanborn County Park. Its terrain at 3,300 feet above sea level and inherent micro-climate provides an aesthetic atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. This area has been described as a “fairy-tale redwood forest that surrounds strange sandstone spires….” in numerous guide books and magazines.
Central Valley, California
Another premier location is Pinnacles National Park. This park has been the home of migrating California Condors for decades and has been a geological anomaly. Pinnacles National Park is a volcanic cinder cone and contains underground springs, caves and 100 foot cliffs. It is a climbing destination which offers plenty of flora and fauna unique to the Northern California high desert and mountains.
If getting a 360 degree view from the summit is what your looking for, then the domes in the Southern Yosemite Range is the right location for you. Fresno Dome, Hawk Dome and Shuteye Ridge has phenomenal sport and trad climbing with breath-taking vistas of the High Country.

International Climbing Destinations
We also offer trips to international climbing destinations around the world. One of our favorite places to climb is El Potrero Chico, Mexico. El Potrero Chico is a national recreational park and is about 2 hours away from the city of Monterrey. It is situated 2 miles from the town of Hidalgo and offers a very rustic and rural setting. The area boasts hundreds of sport routes and a 27-pitch sport route that only requires a rope, slings and draws to summit.
Joshua Tree Guides can also take you climbing to Thailand. Tonsai and Railey climbing offer routes right on the beach. Enjoy the sun, sand and water while climbing or resting in between climbs. Get a taste of the culture and meet the hospitable people of Thailand on this climbing adventure.
Soon, we will be offering trips to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Joshua Tree Guides is working very hard with local climbers, guides, hotels, transportation and residents in creating a new European climbing destination just for you. We aim to build a climbing community that also benefits the local economy.
