About Us

The Coachella Valley Hiking Club provides a community for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re a brief visitor to the Valley or a year-long resident, a newbie on the hiking trails or a mountaineer, old or young, there’s a place in the Coachella Valley Hiking Club for all nature lovers. The Club was established in 1992 as a hiking club but today offers a wide range of events to members, including hikes, bike rides, socials, movie screenings, and community events. We are active in the larger community and work with select organizations to maintain trails, promote personal health, local tribal initiatives, and preserve our beautiful wild spaces. Our valued partners include:

City of Hope Cancer Research Center
Oswit Land Trust
Wildlands Conservancy
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians

Most Club events are scheduled between October and April but we are working to offer some events through the summer months. We do monitor our website throughout the year and if you have questions or comments, we encourage you to reach out.

We look forward to seeing you at a Club Event.

“Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.”
