About Us
Welcome to the Coachella Valley Hiking Club. We were established in 1992 and are now nearly 650 members strong. Our club is a seasonal one – we offer hikes, historical walking tours, lectures, socials, ebiking and card games from October until the end of April. During the “summer months” many of our members and hike leaders are living in cooler climes. We recommend hiking during these months at the higher desert areas such as on trails accessible through the palm springs tram, up 74 in the Garner Valley and Idylwild areas. We do monitor our website throughout the year if you do have questions or comments. Our $15/a year membership is good from the date you signup until that date the following year.
We look forward to seeing you in October!
New Members Welcome!
