The Iceberg is a climbing area in Joshua Tree National Park in California, managed by the National Park Service. It sits among several other climbing spots in the park, and a fee is charged for park visits. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Yucca Valley show April highs around 73°F with lows near 46°F, and October highs around 80°F. That station sits well below the park, so temperatures up high run cooler. Habanero, The is about 0.6 miles away, and Separate Boulders, The and Mullet Bloc are each about 0.7 miles away. For a hike, Queen Valley Trail is roughly 0.9 miles off.
