SUMMARY:PCT North from Highway 74
DESCRIPTION:This hike covers the relatively flat section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) running North from Highway 74. The first few miles feature an easy surface alongside an assortment of desert shrubs and trees, eventually entering sections with rock formations and some stands of pine trees. There are views of the nearby ranches, as well as peaks to the North in Mt. San Jacinto State Park. The trail becomes a bit rocky later on, but not extremely so. This version of the hike is quite a bit shorter and less strenuous than the one described by Philip Ferranti in his book, 140 Great Hikes In and Near Palm Springs (North Fork of the Pacific Crest Trail to Live Oak Spring), offered previously by the club.\nPictures and a map from our scouting hike last month are available here ( https://billhoke.smugmug.com/Desert/Hikes/PCT-North-of-74 ).\nThe distance, elevation gain and pace will all be moderate. However, the higher elevation of the area will sap a bit of your strength, so if you’re unfamiliar with that, please read the related write-up available under the Hiking With CVHC tab and scrolling down to the Altitude Illnesses document link.\nWe’ll meet at 730am at St Margaret’s Episcopal Church for optional carpooling. The address is: 47535 CA-74, Palm Desert, CA 92260\nPlease bring at least 2 liters of water, plus snacks and/or lunch.\nHike Leader: Bill Hoke\nHike length: ~9 miles\nElevation gain: ~1100’, beginning at an elevation of about 4900’\nDifficulty: Moderate\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\nTo join this hike, please use the RSVP form below.\n
