An Outing Activities Section of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club

Join us to support our Purposes and participate in our Activities

The Desert Peaks Section encourages members to explore and enjoy the desert mountain ranges of California and the southwest; become familiar with their scenic resources; stimulate interest in climbing these vast desert ranges in the interest of preserving their desert resources; to enlist public interest and cooperation in protecting them and to foster among our members the purposes of the Sierra Club.
There are 99 desert mountains, throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Mexico on the climbing list of the Desert Peaks Section.
While all are welcome to come with us on our climbs in the desert, those who would like to become members of the Desert Peaks Section need to climb 6 peaks on the qualifying Desert Peaks List, be a Sierra Club member, and subscribe to the Desert Sage .
