The Courtyard is a climbing area in California, about 1.7 miles from the community of Lone Wolf Colony. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, including Black Tower, Cemetery, Tombstones and Brown Corridor, all of which are within about a tenth of a mile. That makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the rock here. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hesperia show April highs around 75°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average near 97°F. For time on foot, the Tangelo Trail is about 3.6 miles away, and the Bass Hill Trail and Chimney Rock Loop are both within roughly six miles.
