MOAN Benchmark

   Moan  Benchmark is located south-west of the Indian Hill area in Anza Borrego. It's a steep rocky hill climb. 2.75 miles to the peak. My hike took me to the peak and down the west side to the R&R Service trails. About 7 miles in total with a 650 ft climb.

                               The hill to start the climb                                                                                       Close up of the hill

                                   About 200 feet up                                                                                    More boulder hopping to come
