Climbing Treatment Areas in Joshua Tree National Park

This GIS polygon feature layer depicts the focused treatment areas for Climbing Treatment Areas which serves as an essential planning tool for parks focusing on the management of climbing activities. This dataset is used to identify specific areas where initial efforts in climbing management planning are concentrated, ensuring use and conservation of park resources. These designated treatment areas mark the boundaries of specific climbing areas where park management is prioritizing resource inventory and climbing access planning. These areas are targeted for detailed assessments and strategic management initiatives. This data is used with the priority climbing trail dataset incorporating existing trails and proposed routes to facilitate access to popular climbing areas. This information helps park managers design trails that minimize environmental impacts while providing safe and efficient climbing access. This dataset in conjunction with the other climbing data feature layers is a vital resource for park managers, climbers, and the general public enabling collaborative efforts to balance recreation with resource protection and ensure long-term sustainability in popular climbing areas.
