SUMMARY:Big Morongo Walk About – Warm-Up Hike #1
DESCRIPTION:Get Your Trail Legs Back in Shape!\nI have planned a series of four relatively easy 3-4 mile hikes designed to get us back in shape for the desert hiking season. If you have been lying on the beach, hiking in other climates, avoiding the summer heat, traveling or just hanging out, these hikes will be a good way to get back into desert hiking. And if you are new to the club these will be a good place to start meeting people and getting to know some local trails.\nEach hike will be listed on the calendar individually and include Warm-Up Hike 1, 2 3, 4 in the title so you will know it is part of this series. Of course, you can join as many or as few in the series as you like. Please contact me at sandysladen@gmail.com if you have any questions.\nBig Morongo Walk About – Warm-Up Hike #1\nDate: Monday, October 5, 8:30am\nLocated in Morongo Valley north of Desert Hot Springs, Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is well recognized as an important wildlife corridor that links the San Gorgonio Wilderness with the San Bernardino National Forest and Joshua Tree National Park.This corridor allows wildlife, including mule deer, big horn sheep, and mountain lions to move freely within this area and is an internationally-recognized birding site.\nWhile there are several hikes in the Preserve we will take a loop hike including some initial boardwalks, the Yucca Ridge Trail overlooking the Preserve, down the upper part of Big Morongo Canyon and back via the West Canyon trail.
