    Your humor really cracks me up. Don’t forget to include some in all your videos. Also, I really appreciate learning about the geology of the many wonderful places you take us.

    I cracked up with the Homer Simpson rock climber! 😂😂 so glad you found it! Is interesting to wonder why/ how it got the name!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 2 lety

      Good question! Perhaps it came from rock climbers who climb around the area? Not sure really. There's a place also called the Chasm of Doom around there which after watching a video on it... I can EASILY see why it is called that. Lots of squeezing into and under small anxiety-inducing areas.

    Wow, great find. That looks amazing. I've been to Joshua Tree a bunch of times and had never heard of Hall of Horrors before.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 2 lety

      There's a bunch of locations we missed as the place is so huge. Even doesn't appear on Google maps until you zoom in the area. Pretty easy to miss but such a cool place!

    Gosh that was so cool!! Thanks for sharing! I’ve always wanted to go to Joshua Tree. I’m Californian too so there’s really no excuse till now that I’m on the other side of the country 🤦🏻‍♀️ Grateful to live vicariously through your adventures!

    Great video and great finding the Hall of Horrors. We were there just a month ago and we struggled and find it. Thanks for putting up this video and when we go back to Joshua Tree we are going to follow your trail. But anyway, we still enjoyed our time there at Joshua Tree and it’s one of our favorite National Park in California!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 2 lety +1

    Wow just wow!!!! We're in SoCal and frequent Joshua Tree many times during the year but have NEVER even heard of Hall of Horrors until watching this. I can't wait to go back and try and find this...definitely going to watch this again and take lots of notes a d screenshots for reference. I thik I'll pass of chasm of doom though, probably end up being renamed Leticia's Doom😂 Thank you again!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před rokem

      The place has signs but for some reason doesn't seem well advertised (at least from what we've seen). Which is a shame. Agree with the charm of doom. A little too much for either of us. 😄

    Is this the same thing as the Chasm Of Doom at Joshua Tree which also has youtube videos dedicated to it?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 3 měsíci

      They're not terribly far from one another, but no... the Chasm of Doom is a different thing. This one is more accessible and doesn't require the same skill level of scrambling or squeezing into tight spaces.

  • @Pixics

    There was a cool caving area that is not marked that I did in Joshua tree, but you could easily miss it. I don't think if I went back I could find it again.

    Whoa that’s weird I’m pretty sure I climbed out of the first hole that you avoided. I thought I was in hall of horrors there. I never been to the place you were at the end of the video. Just shows that I need to explore more. I’m going back soon so I’ll verify but I’m almost positive I climbed out of there from coming from the other side

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 2 lety

      We figured that one can go into that one hole but weren't sure where it went. Will be curious to know more about it. Keep us updated on what you find when you return there! 😄

  • @renepena3024

    Thanks SO much! Are you saying it’s possible to go all the way through and out, you just chose to go through and back out?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 2 lety +1

      The only way an out of shape fella like me felt comfortable is going out the same way, but I have seen videos of people climbing out the other way, and there is supposed to be another way out that people call ‘the mini chasm of doom’. I wish I remembered the video I saw, but if you search for other videos on this, you will see what I mean.

      Yes, that is correct. It is not that long either.

  • @lauraslanesvanlifetravels

    I think, if your out like this in the desert or even a forest...the more noise you make, the better...I'm thinking it would scare any animals away...of course, some of us like seeing them...just not the scary ones.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Před 11 měsíci

      It is off Park Blvd northeast of Cap Rock. Google Maps has it labeled so you should be able to find it there.

  • @tpseeker3367
    @tpseeker3367 Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for doing this for us. Most people wouldn't have made another trip back to find the Hall of Horrors.
    Sorry I gotta laugh at your Directions though.
    So we gotta go past the bunch of rocks follow the trail be the Joshua Tree, not that trail butt the other trail. Find the sign that says Hall of Horrors to the backside of the other bunch of rocks. Take a right at the rocks. Not the small rocks the medium rocks. Left at the green bush then right at the grey bush. Climb some rocks to more rocks & shimmy down a rock & we'll be in the Hall of Horrors. Gotcha 🙄🥺🥴🤪🤭😉🤗. It's like getting directions from people in North Carolina. Go to the corner with 2 churches & take a left at the big oak tree & then a right after the house where a dog will try & bite your tires. Go down to the faded red barn & then a left at the light.
    Wonder if pareidolia has anything to with why it's called Hall of Horrors?
    Thanks again for your determination & going back to take us through the Hall of Horrors.

      You are 100% wrong. He was almost cremated at Cap Rock. You can access the spot from the main crossroad. Look for the engineering pin and you’re in the right area. Us locals know exactly where it is.
