Mystical Tricks Cliff is a climbing area on city land in California, about 0.1 mile from the Central Gorge and Faulty Tower climbing areas. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with the closest neighbors just a short distance away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bishop show April highs around 74°F and October highs around 78°F, while July and August average near 100°F. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the cliff, so temperatures here run cooler. Lower Rock Creek Trail, Section 3, is about 2 miles away, and Lower Rock Creek offers canoeing about 2.6 miles off. Sand Canyon, a mountain biking area, is roughly 3.9 miles away, and Tuff Campground is about 6 miles away for an overnight stay.
