Osborne of the U.S. Forest Service) is still used to pinpoint the exact location—azimuth and distance–of a wildfire.  \n\nOn a prior visit I was humbled to be awarded a Smokey the Bear button commemorating Smokey’s 80th birthday….\nBut I digress.  This hike is about 8.8 miles long with a total elevation gain of about 2,360 feet.  We climb steadily right from the trailhead along the Devil’s Slide Trail for 2.5 miles until we reach Saddle Junction, a very pleasant park-like setting where we will take a break (in addition to prior breaks as needed).  You often see thru-hikers on the PCT here.  Leaving Saddle Junction the terrain initially is relatively flat but gets progressively steeper (with a bit of rock scrambling) over the remaining 1.9 miles to the top of Tahquitz Peak.  If you have issues with heights, please be aware that there are a few steep drop-offs along the trail, particularly as we near the summit,   After a lunch break at the summit we will return to the trailhead the same way we came. \nThere are no reliable water sources this time of year and it can get hot even at these higher altitudes, so in addition to snacks and lunch please bring plenty of water.    \nWe will begin the hike at 8:30 a.m. at the Humber Park Trailhead.  We should get back to the Humber Park parking lot by about  2 p.m..  The anticipated pace of this hike is about 2.2 mph on average, but given the relatively high altitutde of this hike and the total elevation gain it should be considered a strenuous hike.\nI will have a hiking permit covering all of us but you will need a parking permit to park at Humber Park.  These can be obtained for $5 at the San Jacinto Ranger Station in Idyllwild (54270 Pine Crest, Idyllwild), which opens at 8 am Thursday through Monday (it is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday).  If you have an equivalent Interagency Pass, such as an America the Beautiful or National Parks Pass), you can use that to park.\nPlease email Duane at dpellervo@gmail.com to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.  If this is your first time hiking with Duane, please include a description of your hiking experience and current fitness level.  \nTrip details:\n\nHike locator: Humber Park, Idyllwild  https://maps.app.goo.gl/3vU7LtyipYnaECpc6?g_st=am\nTotal elevation gain:  2360 feet\nDistance: 8.8 miles\nPace: 2.2 mph on average, which may feel fast considering altitude and elevation gain\nTerrain: Packed trail, some rocks\nObstacles: Nothing significant\nDifficulty rating:  Strenuous\nMaximum # of Hikers:  Six \nHike date, time: Monday, June 22, 2026, 8:30 am. – 2 pm\n\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/murray-peak-from-bogert-trailhead-2-2-548-926-346-832-849-207-968-888-421-366/ ORGANIZER;CN=Duane Pellervo:MAILTO:dpellervo@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Idyllwild LOCATION:Humber Park ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-10-082950.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-4d22136ec8f25b566fdd61bc0d5045b4@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260720T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260720T150000 DTSTAMP:20260605T110314Z CREATED:20260605 LAST-MODIFIED:20260605 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:4 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Cedar Springs Trail to Cedar Springs Campground DESCRIPTION:This 6.5 mile hike starts at the Cedar Springs Trailhead off Morris Ranch Road in Garner Valley. It begins in an oak grove, along a stream and continues through a pasture where we may see long horn cattle grazing. It then climbs for 1.5 miles up a series of switchbacks until reaching the top and instersects with the PCT at Desert Divide. From here the trail heads down towards the desert for 1 mile to the Cedar Spring campground area where there may be running water. This is a great spot for a lunch or snack.

Although steep, the trail wanders through stunning granite formations, underneath a forest canopy and across multiple rivers and creeks.  This trail connects to the PCT just west of the PCT/Marion Mountain trail intersection.\nThis outing will be a loop circuit starting at the Marion Mountain trailhead, walking along the Forest Service road to the 7 Pines trailhead, up 7 Pines, down Marion Mountain and back to where the cars are parked. We will meet at the Marion Mountain trailhead parking area at 08:00 and start the road walk. Although there are usually water crossings, there is no guarantee that water will be flowing due to the low snow load we gained this winter. Bring plenty of water and food.\nEncroaching vegetation is not a problem, so feel free to wear your favorite hiking shorts!\n7.3 Miles with Elevation gain of ~3000 ft. This hike takes ~5 hours.

We’ll walk down the (steep) paved walkway to begin trail hiking towards Round Valley, then continue up to Wellman Divide. The views from the Divide are simply beautiful! And if you are eventually planning to hike all the way up to San Jacinto peak sometime, this is a good “Prep” hike! There is still a fair amount of climbing on this hike, even if we are not going to the summit. We’ll stop to catch our breath as needed! This is an in-and-out hike.\nPlease meet inside the Tram station no later at 9:30am to catch the first tram up the mountain at 10am. If you are a resident of the Coachella Valley, tell the parking attendant and you can park for free. You can purchase a Tram ticket ahead of time online at https://pstramway.com/tickets/ ( https://pstramway.com/tickets/ ) or at the station on the day of the hike.

With the summer heat coming up, it is time to head to Idyllwild to do some hiking.\nThis 9.1 mile round trip hike begins at Humber Park (https://maps.app.goo.gl/CchpfeSTkJtT1SBQ8 ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/CchpfeSTkJtT1SBQ8 )) and climbs ~2350 feet to the Tahquitz Peak fire lookout. We will maintain a moderate-fast pace on average (quick on the flat and downhill, slow on the uphills). Due to the elevation gain and distance, I rate this hike as strenuous. Expect an elevated pulse and respiration rate!\nWe will start at 09:00 at the trailhead and will return to the trailhead at 14:00 or thereabouts. Bring snacks and a lunch to eat while we take in the view at the peak. Hiking poles are recommended to take the strain off of knees and hips. There are no reliable water sources on this trail, so bring water in sufficient quantities to stay hydrated for the entire distance.\nTo park a car at Humber Park you need a permit. These can be obtained at the US Forest Service office in Idyllwild (https://maps.app.goo.gl/85Tb37fQcAQQdvoa9 ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/85Tb37fQcAQQdvoa9 )).

The trail starts next to the Big Horn Sheep enclosure and then heads east into the arroyo and hills. We will take the trail counter-clockwise, starting with a sandy wash with lots of rocks and then climbing up onto the banks of the wash before ascending steadily to the picnic area at the base of the peak. The trail is rugged, with lots of rocks and some exposure along steep slopes above the wash. Boulder hopping is minimal and no climbing is required.\nThe trail is clearly marked and navigation is easy. We will take a break at the picnic tables to enjoy the various views available from this high point. Bring a snack! I like to use hiking poles on this hike to improve my balance in the rocky wash. As always, protect your skin from the sun, pack the ten essentials, and wear footgear suitable to the terrain. Bring plenty of water to drink!\nYou must pay to enter Living Desert or be a Zoo member to access the trail.  We will meet inside the front entrance to the Zoo.

It offers a steady and breathtaking climb through manzanita and pine trees. After a nearby fire in 1974, the Forest Service planted some sequoia trees, and although they are not “giant”, they can be seen scattered along the trail. The Black Mountain Lookout Fire Tower at 7772 ft. provides spectacular views west.\n8 Miles with Elevation gain of 2600 ft. That means over 4 miles you will climb 2600 ft. It’s not easy and it’s at elevation, starting around 5000 ft. This is a strenuous hike, but we’ll pace ourselves and stop to breathe as needed!

If so, this is the hike for you. We will start along Hwy 243 just west of Idyllwild and will follow Deer Springs trail up to the PCT, through Little Round Valley and then to the peak. We will return via Wellman’s Cienega trail, the PCT and Deer Springs.\nThis is a long hike (~17 miles) with great views and multiple opportunities to encounter that elusive seasonal fauna, the PCT Thruhiker. We will climb gradually up ~5300 feet and then coast downhill for the second half. This hike typically lasts all day (~6 hours) at a fast pace. \nNo parking permits or shuttles are required, you just have to get to the Deer Springs trailhead (details below) by 08:00.

Are you looking for exotic geology? We have the perfect hike for you! The Split Rock Slot Canyon is thought to be the largest slot canyon in California and it is right next to Ladders Canyon in Mecca.\nThis moderate to strenuous hike involves walking along a sandy wash, clambering up and down rocks and passing through narrow passageways. In addition to marveling at the geology, we will also explore options for connecting this set of slot canyon trails to the eastern loop of Ladders Canyon. This exploration will involve route finding and use of sketchy and hard to find trails.\nHikers should be comfortable with walking in deep sand, a bit of rock scrambling (nothing major) and have no problems with close passages. The heat wave is fading and we should have comfortable temperatures. As always, bring the ten essentials, plenty of water, electrolytes, some food, etc.\nThis route involves a walk up the main wash, followed by a multiple explorations up side canyons and, if we are successful, a bit of ridge walking.

MECCA LADDERS CANYON- Trail Maintenance DESCRIPTION:Following a successful round 2 on the western loop of Ladders Canyon where we replaced a ladder and moved a ladder to replace a failed ladder, we are headed back to inspect the rest of the western loop to identify other spots requiring maintenance. We will inspect the ladders and hardware along the trail (trail details below) and identify items that require replacement or repair. A later hike will involve carrying replacement ladders and hardware in and bringing out old, damaged ladders and hardware. This is a joint operation of CVHC and the Sun City Hiking club.\nThe trailhead is an hour drive from Rancho Mirage, that last 3+ miles of which is a rutted desert dirt/sand road. The road is in good condition and does not require 4WD at the moment, but take it slow to avoid bottoming out.  Add driving time to the hike duration for planning. \nEven though this hike and the pace are rated moderate, it has challenges.  We will be ascending and descending ladders and slopes. In places we may use fixed ropes to assist in climbing.\nThis alternate route involves a walk up the main wash, followed by a series of dry waterfalls (ladders, ropes) and then ridge walking to a descent through slot canyons and additional dry waterfalls. A map is available here: https://caltopo.com/m/472V2TJ ( https://caltopo.com/m/472V2TJ ).

In places we may use fixed ropes to assist in climbing.\nThis alternate route involves a walk up the main wash, followed by a series of dry waterfalls (ladders, ropes) and then ridge walking to a descent through slot canyons and additional dry waterfalls.

We will take the trail counter-clockwise, starting with a sandy wash with lots of rocks and then climbing up onto the banks of the wash before ascending steadily to the picnic area at the base of the peak. The trail is rugged, with lots of rocks and some exposure along steep slopes above the wash. Boulder hopping is minimal and no climbing is required.\nThe trail is clearly marked and navigation is easy. We will take a break at the picnic tables to enjoy the various views available from this high point. Bring a snack! I like to use hiking poles on this hike to improve my balance in the rocky wash.

After a very short walk through a sandy wash, we ascend a little-used series of dry rock waterfalls. This Canyon drainage gets very little hiker traffic and is absolutely beautiful!  There are approximately 10 rock scrambles in the initial ascent to Dunn Road, each between 10-25 feet high. (If you’ve done Magnesia Falls, there’s nothing here more difficult than any of those scrambles. If you haven’t scrambled Magnesia Falls and are worried about your ability, please call Jeff and he will describe in more detail what’s involved.)\nWe follow this Canyon all the way up to Dunn Road where it intersects with a trail that parallels Dunn Road for approximately .25 mile. We cross Dunn Road and follow a fairly new trail that parallels Wild Horse trail but is located up on the side of the hill. Views are spectacular from there! This trail gets some bike use but not many hikersventure there. (Note: Visibility on this trail is good. It’s safe to share the trail with the few bikes that use it.)\nFrom here, we will explore the large plateau that is bordered by Wild Hhorse Trail. We will make a large circular route and explore a small oasis.  (There’s only one palm tree in the middle of the desert, which seems very out of place.) We will take our lunch around here, in the only shade for miles around. We eventually make our way back to Dunn Road where we will intersect with a trail that switches back down to the east side of Foothill Road, Cathedral City. This trail does have several loose sections; hiking poles may be helpful for added stability. We will have a short walk down foothill Road to where we parked our cars.\nThis is a loop hike and we return back to the starting point on Foothill Road. \nMeet at the west end of Foothill Road, Cathedral City, at 8:00 AM.

We soon get great views of the entire Whitewater wash and surrounding hills and should see a fair amount of desert flowers in bloom at the upper elevations. We continue northbound, down the PCT, back to the valley floor where we take a lesser-used trail up to Rainbow Rocks, after a short break here, we will continue up the great Valley Trail to a small waterfall. This will be our turnaround point. This area of the trail is very different from most of the other desert trails as it’s filled with large deciduous trees, deep canyons, creating a lot of shade and the ground in many places is covered with Grapevine. From here, we head back down the trail, then northbound on the PCT for a short distance. We return, passing the Whitewater Preserve ranger station and walk the wash to our cars.\nThe hike starting point, the Canyon View trailhead, is just before the Whitewater wash concrete crossing, a bridge-like structure before the Whitewater Preserve entry gates, 9160 Whitewater Canyon Rd, Whitewater. Hikers can park cars on the side of the road at the Canyon View trailhead (GPS coordinates 33.98060° N, 116.65384° W).

We will return to the Trading Post and exit Indian Canyons around 4 PM. \nIf you like the Guadalupe, you’ll love Jo Ponds. This hike involves a lot of altitude gain and dodgy trail conditions. Jo Ponds is an unmaintained route with the occasional cairn to show the way.\nThis route provides stunning views of Indian Canyons and the Palm Canyon area. This expedition requires solid navigation skills and an ability to read the terrain. The terrain is steep and rocky with dense brush obscuring the route. \nA successful hike on this route demands preparation – fitness, mental stamina (this is a marathon, not a sprint), gear (the ten essentials are, well, essential) and good teamwork to keep everyone moving forward. Although no rock climbing or bouldering is involved, the trail surface is rugged and sloping in all directions. We will scramble through dense brush and washes crowded with trees and bushes. Long sleeves and pants are recommended to protect skin from the plentiful vegetation. Bring food and liquids for a full day on the trail.\nWe will start hiking ~8:15 (Indian Canyons opens at 08:00). There is an admission charge at the gate to Indian Canyons with a discount for seniors (62+). Bring an ID! Cash and cards accepted. It could be COLD up top. Bring layers to take off and put on to keep yourself comfortable as the temperature fluctuates. \nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/U8MFJ40 ( https://caltopo.com/m/U8MFJ40 )\n\nAltitude gain: maybe 5956 feet  (804′ to 6760′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 6274 feet\nDistance: maybe 11.46 miles\nPace: 1.5-2.0 MPH, ~8 hours\nTerrain: Varied, deep sand, steep sections, water crossings, overgrown trail\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, cactus, plant debris, high steps up\nDifficulty rating:  Very Strenuous\n\nPlease email Andrew ( http://mail to:atwalls@gmail.com ) to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/indian-canyons-west-fork-to-andreas-166/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Palm Springs LOCATION:Indian Canyons END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-8de4aa6f66a39065b3fac4aa58feaccd@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260209T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260209T130000 DTSTAMP:20260125T121956Z CREATED:20260125 LAST-MODIFIED:20260125 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:8 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:PANORAMA LOOP PLUS WARREN’S PEAK, JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK DESCRIPTION:The hike begins in a sandy wash at 4,000′ elevation.  We will start hiking up a gradual incline.

The rocky descent heads into an improbable palm grove oasis — the only shade you’ll find on this hike and a refreshing spot to stop, hydrate, and chill while listening to the breeze ruffle the palm fronds and watching the lizards and other critters scurry around. The Pushawalla Palms grove is fed by water that has risen to the surface through cracks in the fault. On the way back, we will hike through Hidden Palms, full of thick growth fan palms.

The trail runs along ridges and down through washes and narrow canyons with stunning views to the Salton Sea and north into the vast hills of the trailless eastern section of the park. An array of cactus species and desert plants provide a backdrop for the antics of multiple lizards scurrying out of our way. We’ll take a break to relax at the top and enjoy the amazing views! \nThe trail surface is mostly hard packed sand and rock and no rock climbing or scrambling is involved (except for those who go down to the oasis). There is no shade or water on the trail. Bring plenty of water and snacks.\nWe will meet at the Cottonwood parking lot in JTNP. To reach the parking lot, use I-10 East to reach the JTNP turn off. Follow the JTNP entrance road north until Cottonwood road appears on your right. The ranger station and visitors’ center is at this intersection and presents your last chance for a restroom! Turn right on Cottonwood and follow it to the end.  \nThe hike will commence at 08:00. \nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/16J0N\nAltitude gain: 470 feet  (2990′ to 3460′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 1095 feet\nDistance: 7.5 miles\nPace: 2.0 MPH, ~4 hours\nTerrain: Slightly varied, deep sand, short climb, some slick rock\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Moderate\nPlease email Rosemarie to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/lost-palm-oasis-967-374-426-601-561-606-755/ ORGANIZER;CN=Rosemarie Rotunno:MAILTO:audioro22@aol.com CATEGORIES:Joshua Tree LOCATION:Joshua Tree National Park END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-32b9e74c8f60958158eba8d1fa372971@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T180000 DTSTAMP:20251207T100939Z CREATED:20251207 LAST-MODIFIED:20251207 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:12 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:CATHEDRAL CANYON EAST TO MAGNESIA SPRINGS TO ART SMITH DESCRIPTION:The hike starts at the East end of Foothill Road in Cathedral city. After a very short walk through a sandy wash, we begin a steep ascent up the Cathedral Canyon East Trail. The beginning of the hike will definitely get your heart rate up for the first 3 miles and then becomes a gentle climb. The desert formations change quickly as you ascend and there have been many Bighorn sheep seen on the last several hikes this year. \nAfter 4 miles on the trail, we will head off on very faint “trail” toward the Magnesia Falls/Springs drainage. After crossing that canyon, we will continue through an ever-changing Desert and eventually arrive at the Art Smith Trail. We will continue up the Art Smith trail to the picnic tables and have a bite to eat before returning back on the Cathedral Canyon East Trail. \nThere will be approximately 1/2 mile of loose rock at the beginning of the hike and then of course again on the descent. Hiking poles may make some people more comfortable on the descent. See map insert for view of the route. \n9.0 miles with elevation gain of 1900 feet; medium to fast pace; 4 hours moving hike time\nMeet at the East end of Foothill Road, Cathedral City, at 8:00 AM.

He’ll hike different sections at different paces: fast, medium or casual. The goal is to enable Club members to assess their pace so they can describe their pace to CVHC hike leaders when they sign up for hikes.  \nAndrew and Margaret also will give an overview of Club practices, sign-up tips, and general desert hiking tips. \nThe Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. \nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. The hike will take between 1 and 2 hours. Although this is an easy hike, the trail is exposed and temperatures may be high. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun hat, and sun glasses. We will meet in the parking area where the trail begins. \nThe parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74, south of Palm Desert.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONAL HIKES TO RAINBOW ROCKS ARE ALSO OFFERED BY BRAD ON SATURDAY, 1/24, AND THURSDAY, 2/5. ***  \nThe hike begins at the Canyon View trailhead, near the Whitewater Preserve entry, and rapidly ascends up Canyon View Trail to eventually intersect with the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). We soon get great views of the entire Whitewater wash and surrounding hills and should see a fair amount of desert flowers in bloom at the upper elevations. We continue northbound, down the PCT, back to the valley floor where we take a lesser-used trail up to Rainbow Rocks, our turnaround point.  From here, we head back down the trail, then northbound on the PCT for a short distance. We return, passing the Whitewater Preserve ranger station and walk the wash to our cars.\nThe hike starting point, the Canyon View trailhead, is just before the Whitewater wash concrete crossing, a bridge-like structure before the Whitewater Preserve entry gates, 9160 Whitewater Canyon Rd, Whitewater. Hikers can park cars on the side of the road at the Canyon View trailhead (GPS coordinates 33.98060° N, 116.65384° W).

After a very short walk through a sandy wash, we ascend a little-used series of dry rock waterfalls. This Canyon drainage gets very little hiker traffic and is absolutely beautiful!  There are approximately 10 rock scrambles in the initial ascent to Dunn Road, each between 10-25 feet high. See the photo of Jeff ascending one of the taller scrambles. (If you’ve done Magnesia Falls, there’s nothing here more difficult than any of those scrambles. If you haven’t scrambled Magnesia Falls and are worried about your ability, please call Jeff and he will describe in more detail what’s involved.)\nWe follow this Canyon all the way up to Dunn Road where it intersects with a trail that parallels Dunn Road for approximately .25 mile. We cross Dunn Road and follow a fairly new trail that parallels Wild Horse trail but is located up on the side of the hill. Views are spectacular from there! This trail gets some bike use but not many Hikers venture there. (Note: Visibility on this trail is good. It’s safe to share the trail with the few bikes that use it.)\nWe follow this trail to Clara Burgess Trail; then follow Clara Burgess Trail up Murray Hill. We take our lunch break up at the picnic tables on Murray. After a break, we descend Clara Burgess on the north face of Murray and intersect with a series of trails that lead us back around to the Cathedral Canyon West wash. There are several hidden canyons and interesting rock formations there.\nThis is a loop hike and we return back to the starting point on Foothill Road. This hike feels longer than its 9 miles, so be prepared for a big day of fun! \nPlease call with any questions.\n9.0 miles with elevation gain of 1750 feet; medium to fast pace; 4.25 hours moving hike time \nMeet at the west end of Foothill Road, Cathedral City, at 8:00 AM.

The trail – such as it is – heads south along a fence and water diversion canal, ascends a massive, concrete dike, crosses a catchment basin and then goes up a steep slope to the wash which marks the beginning of the actual canyon. From there, the trail advances up a giant’s staircase of pour overs and washes involving multiple slick rock climbs from 8 to over 30 feet tall until we reach an 80 foot dry fall where an unmarked side trail scrambles up a very steep slope to get past the falls. This climb will have your heart pounding and your lungs straining while your feet and legs struggle to find something solid to step on.\nSoon after, we reach a massive pile of boulders which we will climb to resume the Giant’s staircase through washes cluttered with flash flood debris until we reach the Art Smith Trail. The boulder climb will test your balance and comfort levels with vertical exposure!\nOnce we are on the Art Smith trail we turn right and ascend to the intersection with Dunn Road (lunch at the picnic tables!). From there, we have a moderate, comfortable walk along Dunn Road to the Dunn Road Connector trail and down to the end of the trail in Cathedral Canyon.

This 14 mile trail/route begins in La Quinta Cove on the Boo Hof and then climbs relentlessly up the Guadalupe trail until it reaches the Horse Thief trail and exits at Hwy 74 at Pinyon Flats. We will climb 4500 feet above La Quinta, passing by the collapsed cabin and artifacts at Cowboy Camp (where we eat lunch) through dense brush via trails and routes that require solid navigation skills and an ability to read the terrain. The terrain is steep and rocky with dense brush obscuring the route. Once we reach the saddle at 4833 foot elevation (4500 feet up in 7.5 miles), we are lulled into a false sense of accomplishment as the trail levels out and even goes downhill a bit. Then the trail slaps us awake with more climbing through tight washes and over crumbling ridges to our exit at the Pinyon Flat transfer station.\nA successful hike on this route demands preparation – fitness, mental stamina (this is a marathon, not a sprint), gear (the ten essentials are, well, essential) and good teamwork to keep everyone moving forward. Although no rock climbing or bouldering is involved, the trail surface is rugged and sloping in all directions. We will scramble through dense brush and washes crowded with trees and bushes. A shuttle is required and long sleeves and pants are recommended to protect skin from the plentiful vegetation.\nIt could be COLD up top. Bring layers to take off and put on to keep yourself comfortable as the temperature fluctuates. There is little to no shade available.\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/73TJ5 ( https://caltopo.com/m/73TJ5 )\n\nAltitude gain: 4118 feet  (315′ to 4833′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 5477 feet\nDistance: 14.2 miles\nPace: 2.0 MPH, ~8 hours\nTerrain: Varied, deep sand, steep sections, water crossings, overgrown trail\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, cactus, plant debris, high steps up\nDifficulty rating:  Very Strenuous\n\nPlease email Andrew ( mailto:/atwalls@gmail.com ) to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/guadalupe-3-209-607-594-473-328-289/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:La Quinta,Pinyon Pine LOCATION:La Quinta Cove ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/LaQuinta-Cove-01.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-31d754e8615621112f3956fae2707df8@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260109T150000 DTSTAMP:20251127T125742Z CREATED:20251127 LAST-MODIFIED:20251202 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:3 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:First Aid and CPR training – Hike Leaders DESCRIPTION: URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/first-aid-and-cpr-training-hike-leaders/ ORGANIZER;CN=Daniel Coleman:MAILTO:teninopt@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-65cf25ef90de99d93fa96dc49d0d8b3c@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251206T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251206T100000 DTSTAMP:20251126T214749Z CREATED:20251126 LAST-MODIFIED:20251126 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:11 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:CARIZZO CANYON DESCRIPTION:Carrizo Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. This easy hike begins at the Art Smith parking lot and gradually climbs south through soft sand in a wide wash with evidence of a history of mining, exploration and recreational use over many decades. The wash narrows as we enter the canyon where we are amazed at the stunning folding and layering of metamorphic rock in the canyon walls. Tim would be happy to explain these geological features and/or give a brief overview of the geology of this region.\nAs the canyon narrows, the trail gets a bit rockier and poles can be handy for maintaining one’s balance. We will carefully scramble over a few granite boulders. After a visit to a dry waterfall, we will take a side trail up Indian Canyon and up a 5 foot rock ladder to an overlook from which you can see back to Palm Desert and up Carrizo Canyon to a stand of California palms at an oasis hidden above the dry fall. We retrace our steps to return to the parking lot.\nThese lots of exposure on the trail.

FULL!!! DESCRIPTION:This gentle hike is one of the most popular trails in the Coachella Valley. The Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. The Visitors Center for the Santa Rosa San Jacinto Mountains National Monument is right next to the parking lot and is worth a visit after the hike (buy a T-shirt!) and provides restroom facilities.\nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. We will meet in the parking area where the trail begins. The parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74 south of Palm Desert. See a roadmap here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nhnyL4AyXRFzPgEJ8\nThe walk will take 1.5 to 2 hours and we will have plenty of time to discuss the wide variety of desert plants, animals and geological formations which we will encounter along the trail.\nTrail map available here: https://caltopo.com/m/777TG\n\nAltitude gain: 406 feet  (Low 990′ to High 1396′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 430 feet\nDistance: 2.46 miles\nPace: 1.5 MPH, ~2 hours\nTerrain: Packed sand, deep sand, minimal steps up and down\nObstacles: Nothing significant\nDifficulty rating:  Easy\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\n\nHIKE LEADER:  Andrew Walls\nHIKE LOCATOR:  Trailhead in parking lot\nHIKE DATE/TIME: Friday, Dec. 26, 08:30-10:30\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/randall-henderson-trail-390-354/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Palm Desert LOCATION:Palm Desert END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-d958628e70134d9e1e17499a9d815a71@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251220T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251220T150000 DTSTAMP:20251123T125930Z CREATED:20251123 LAST-MODIFIED:20251201 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:2 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Ruby Lee Mill Loop – Joshua Tree National Park DESCRIPTION:Hidden in JTNP are the ruins of the Ruby Lee Mill site. This stone house, well and collapsed wagon are all that remain of a valiant effort to build an ore mill to support the various miners and prospectors who worked in the JTNP area. Unfortunately, business was not great and the site was abandoned. Our hike begins at the Porcupine Wash backcountry board parking area and begins a continuous, shallow climb across open desert to the mill site. After a bit of time spent exploring the ruins (and eating some food), we will continue along the remains of an old mining access road which takes us across the hills to the Porcupine wash. We then have an easy walk down the wash to a set of petroglyphs near the parking area.\nThis hike requires a small amount of rock scrambling and a good bit of route finding and walking in the open desert. Bring plenty of water, dress for sun exposure and cool weather and have snacks handy to keep your energy up.\nThis is a relatively level walk (elevation gain of 930 feet), but it involves considerable distance (9.6 miles). This is a route, not a trail, so we can wander and explore as we go! Bring a few liters of water and plenty of snacks – as well as your lunch.\n9.6 miles with elevation gain of 930 ft, at a pace to complete the hike in 4-5 hours. Meet at the Porcupine Wash backcountry board parking area in JTNP. Let me know in advance if you would like to carpool and make sure to bring your National Park pass.

Along this 4.4 mile walk we will enjoy views over the Cove neighborhood and the wilds of the Santa Rosa mountains towering over the Cove. We will chat about the impact of flash floods and the transition of vegetation as we move from the floor of the wash and up onto the plateau surrounding Raven Hill. \nThe trail is well-defined and no rock scrambling or climbing is involved. There is a gradual uphill slope for the first half of the walk as we ascend ~600 feet over 2 miles.\nThere is no shade on this trail, so protect your skin and bring the ten essentials.

The trail – such as it is – heads south along a fence and water diversion canal, ascends a massive, concrete dike, crosses a catchment basin and then goes up a steep slope to the wash which marks the beginning of the actual canyon. From there, the trail advances up a giant’s staircase of pour overs and washes involving multiple slick rock climbs from 8 to over 30 feet tall until we reach an 80 foot dry fall where an unmarked side trail scrambles up a very steep slope to get past the falls. This climb will have your heart pounding and your lungs straining while your feet and legs struggle to find something solid to step on.\nSoon after, we reach a massive pile of boulders which we will climb to resume the Giant’s staircase through washes cluttered with flash flood debris until we reach the Art Smith Trail. The boulder climb will test your balance and comfort levels with vertical exposure!\nOnce we are on the Art Smith trail we have a long, but comfortable walk to the trailhead at Hwy 74, passing multiple oases along the way. Anticipate a lot of sun exposure along the Art Smith and dress accordingly. Bring plenty of water!\nThe route through the canyon involves sun exposure and shade, producing large temperature swings. The route moves through catclaw acacia and palm fond debris piles, so dress to protect your skin and stay alert for late season rattlesnakes.\n\nAltitude gain: 2149 feet  (Low 328′ to High 2477′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 2780 feet\nDistance: 11.25 miles\nPace: 2 MPH, ~6 hours \nTerrain: Highly varied, climbing, scree slopes, deep sand, slick rock, high steps up and down\nObstacles: Rock slabs, boulder slope, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Very strenuous\n\nThe hike starts at Blixseth Park in Rancho Mirage and finishes at the Art Smith tailhead in Palm Desert.  Car shuttle required. Map of the route available here: https://caltopo.com/m/NDKGJ ( https://caltopo.com/m/NDKGJ )\nIf you haven’t hiked with Eugene before, please call.  Otherwise, email and include your phone number. \nHIKE DIFFICULTY: Strenuous\nHIKE PACE: Moderate\nDISTANCE: 11.25 miles\nELEVATION GAIN: 2800 FEET\nHIKE LEADER: Eugene Demsey\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/magnesia-falls-to-cathedral-canyon-2-650-712-387-399-386-119-225/ ORGANIZER;CN=Gene Demsey:MAILTO:trigene4@yahoo.com CATEGORIES:Palm Desert,Rancho Mirage LOCATION:Art Smith Trailhead END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-0f20c77d6afb02422603acb0329b5a41@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251125T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251125T100000 DTSTAMP:20251107T162838Z CREATED:20251107 LAST-MODIFIED:20251107 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:19 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:RANDALL HENDERSON LOOP DESCRIPTION:\nThe Randall Henderson Canyon Loop is in south Palm Desert; it traverses the sandy washes and canyons of the lower Santa Rosa Mountains.

He’ll hike different sections at different paces: fast, medium or slow. The goal is to enable Club members to assess their pace so they can describe it to CVHC hike leaders when they sign up for hikes.  \nAndrew and Margaret also will give an overview of Club practices, hike sign-up, and general desert hiking tips. \nThe Art Smith trail is a signature trail of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. It was designed to provide a secluded hiking experience through the desert and into the mountains. The trail is rugged, with significant elevation changes, and was designed for those who appreciate a more challenging and natural trek. \nThe orientation hike will be a 3.0 mile out-and-back on the Art Smith Trail. The first 0.5 mile is mostly flat. The trail then climbs a ridge, gaining 500 feet over the next 1.0 mile. We’ll stop at the 1.5 mile mark and return to the trailhead via the same route. The hike will take between 2 and 2.5 hours. Although this hike is relatively short, the trail is exposed and temperatures may be high. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun hat, and sun glasses. We will meet in the Art Smith parking area where the trail begins. \nThe parking area is on the west side of Hwy 74, south of Palm Desert. See a roadmap here.

Along the way we will have sweeping views of the Valley and the Salton Sea.\nAs usual, there is very little shade and the hills may experience wind. Bring plenty of water, dress for sun exposure and have snacks handy to keep your energy up. Poles are helpful on the ridge and the descent.

This easy hike begins at the Art Smith parking lot and gradually climbs south through soft sand in a wide wash with evidence of a history of mining, exploration and recreational use over many decades. The wash narrows as we enter the canyon where we are amazed at the stunning folding and layering of metamorphic rock in the canyon walls. Tim would be happy to explain these geological features and/or give a brief overview of the geology of this region.\nAs the canyon narrows, the trail gets a bit rockier and poles can be handy for maintaining one’s balance. We will carefully scramble over a few granite boulders. After a visit to a dry waterfall, we will take a side trail up Indian Canyon and up a 5 foot rock ladder to an overlook from which you can see back to Palm Desert and up Carrizo Canyon to a stand of California palms at an oasis hidden above the dry fall. We retrace our steps to return to the parking lot.\nThese lots of exposure on the trail.

Please email Carole to be added to the wait-list. \nDead Indian Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. The hike begins at Art Smith parking lot and follows the southern edge of the Art Smith basin before entering the wash at the mouth of Dead Indian Canyon. Our route follows the soft sand floor of the wash until we reach the point where the old Art Smith trail side canyon heads northwest. From there we use a sand platform to avoid some rocks and reach where the canyon starts to climb through a field of scattered granite boulders. We then return to the parking lot via a trail which parallels our route into the canyon.\nAlong the way we will see desert willows, smoke trees, datura, acacia and many lizards. If we are lucky we may encounter a herd of bighorns! Tim would be happy to explain any geological features and/or give a brief overview of the geology of this region. \nShade is limited and there is no water in this canyon.

DESCRIPTION:Come on this moderate hike to enjoy Indio’s wonderland of rocks! Starting from the parking area at the intersection of Avenue 42 and Golf Center Parkway in Indio, we will cross a sandy ‘no man’s land’ where OHV drivers cavort until we reach the surrealist’s dream that is the Indio Hills. These stone hills have been shaped over the millenia into graceful curves and passageways, providing us with something new and surprising around every turn.\nThe trail loops through the hills and includes a few spots where we will need to step up ~3 feet. Most of the trail is a combination of rock (gritty, not slick rock) and sand. The loop will take us back to where we entered the hills and from there we return to the parking area to finish the trail.\nThe hike is a touch over 5 miles long with numerous ups and downs resulting in a total elevation gain of 784 feet. Along the way we will have sweeping views of the Valley and the Salton Sea.\nAs usual, there is very little shade and the hills experience a lot of wind.

DESCRIPTION:Carrizo Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. This easy hike begins at the Art Smith parking lot and gradually climbs south through soft sand in a wide wash with evidence of a history of mining, exploration and recreational use over many decades. The wash narrows as we enter the canyon where we are amazed at the stunning folding and layering of metamorphic rock in the canyon walls. \nAs the canyon narrows, the trail gets a bit rockier and poles can be handy for maintaining one’s balance. We will carefully scramble over a few granite boulders. After a visit to a dry waterfall, we will take a side trail up Indian Canyon and up a 5 foot rock ladder to an overlook from which you can see back to Palm Desert and up Carrizo Canyon to a stand of California palms at an oasis hidden above the dry fall. We retrace our steps to return to the parking lot.\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/U4Q7J\n\nAltitude gain: 364 feet  (1044′ to 1408′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 503 feet\nDistance: 2.3 miles\nPace: 1-1.5 MPH, ~2 hours\nTerrain: Slightly varied, deep sand, short climb, some slick rock\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Easy to Moderate\n\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/carrizo-canyon-3/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Palm Desert LOCATION:Carizzo Canyon Trailhead END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-89daa89c41ffb71f97a15ad3ae830a06@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251107T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251107T160000 DTSTAMP:20250811T083716Z CREATED:20250811 LAST-MODIFIED:20251105 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:5 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Magnesia Falls to Art Smith-Hwy 74 — FULL DESCRIPTION:This challenging and exciting hike begins simply enough at Blixseth Park. The trail – such as it is – heads south along a fence and water diversion canal, ascends a massive, concrete dike, crosses a catchment basin and then goes up a steep slope to the wash which marks the beginning of the actual canyon. From there, the trail advances up a giant’s staircase of pour overs and washes involving multiple slick rock climbs from 8 to over 30 feet tall until we reach an 80 foot dry fall where an unmarked side trail scrambles up a very steep slope to get past the falls. This climb will have your heart pounding and your lungs straining while your feet and legs struggle to find something solid to step on.\nSoon after, we reach a massive pile of boulders which we will climb to resume the Giant’s staircase through washes cluttered with flash flood debris until we reach the Art Smith Trail. The boulder climb will test your balance and comfort levels with vertical exposure!\nOnce we are on the Art Smith trail we have a long, but comfortable walk to the trailhead at Hwy 74, passing multiple oases along the way. Anticipate a lot of sun exposure along the Art Smith and dress accordingly. Bring plenty of water!\nThe route through the canyon involves sun exposure and shade, producing large temperature swings. The route moves through catclaw acacia and palm fond debris piles, so dress to protect your skin and stay alert for late season rattlesnakes.\nMap available here: https://caltopo.com/m/NDKGJ ( https://caltopo.com/m/NDKGJ )\n\nAltitude gain: 2149 feet  (Low 328′ to High 2477′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 2780 feet\nDistance: 11.25 miles\nPace: 2 MPH, ~6 hours\nTerrain: Highly varied, climbing, scree slopes, deep sand, slick rock, high steps up and down\nObstacles: Rock slabs, boulder slope, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Very strenuous\n\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\n\nHIKE LEADER:  Andrew Walls\nHIKE LOCATOR:  Blixseth Park, Rancho Mirage – Art Smith parking lot, Hwy 74, Palm Desert.  SHUTTLE REQUIRED\nHIKE DATE/TIME: Friday, Nov 7 07:00-16:00\n\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/magnesia-falls-to-art-smith-hwy-74/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Rancho Mirage LOCATION:Rancho Mirage END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-a2790947391a51d18dc235eea344d981@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250802T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250802T140000 DTSTAMP:20250708T111433Z CREATED:20250708 LAST-MODIFIED:20250710 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:3 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Tahquitz Peak, Out & Back DESCRIPTION:Let’s climb some hills!

DESCRIPTION:Between Idyllwild and the Tram there is a network of trails, some of which are no longer maintained. One of these abandoned trails is now called the King trail in honor of John King, owner of the San Jacinto Trail Report (https://sanjacjon.com/ ( https://sanjacjon.com/ ) ). John has been restoring the trail by hand.\nThe King trail starts on the Willow Creek trail about 1 mile north of Saddle junction. The trail wanders across the hills and ridges over to the Caramba overlook. This is an unmaintained trail and the vegetation is trying hard to hide the path. We will have to stay sharp to stay on trail and might have to make our own trail in places.  The terrain is rugged with significant barriers from overgrown vegetation.\nLong pants and sturdy footwear are strongly recommended. This is an out and back trip with a total distance of ~13 miles.  We start and finish at Humber Park. We will start at 08:00 and aim to have lunch at the Caramba Overlook (end of the trail). We should return to Humber park between 3-4:00 PM.\n13 Miles with Elevation gain of ~1600 ft. This hike takes ~8 hours.

We soon get great views of the entire Whitewater wash and surrounding hills and should see a fair amount of desert flowers in bloom at the upper elevations. We continue northbound, down the PCT, back to the valley floor where we take a lesser-used trail up to Rainbow Rocks, our turnaround point.  From here, we head back down the trail, then northbound on the PCT for a short distance. We return, passing the Whitewater Preserve ranger station and walk the wash to our cars.\nThe hike starting point, the Canyon View trailhead, is just before the Whitewater wash concrete crossing, a bridge-like structure before the Whitewater Preserve entry gates, 9160 Whitewater Canyon Rd, Whitewater.

The trail starts next to the Big Horn Sheep enclosure and then heads east into the arroyo and hills. We will take the trail counter-clockwise, starting with a sandy wash with lots of rocks and then climbing up onto the banks of the wash before ascending steadily to the picnic area at the base of the peak. The trail is rugged, with lots of rocks and some exposure along steep slopes above the wash. Boulder hopping is minimal and no climbing is required.\nThe trail is clearly marked and navigation is easy. We will take a break at the picnic tables to enjoy the various views available from this high point. Bring a snack! I like to use hiking poles on this hike to improve my balance in the rocky wash. As always, protect your skin from the sun, pack the ten essentials, and wear footgear suitable to the terrain.

We will maintain a moderate pace on average (quick on the flat and downhill, slow on the uphills). Due to the elevation gain and distance, I rate this hike as strenuous. Expect an elevated pulse and respiration rate!\nWe will start at 08:30 at the trailhead and will return to the trailhead at 13:30 or thereabouts. Bring snacks and a lunch to eat while we take in the view at the peak. Hiking poles are recommended to take the strain off of knees and hips. There are no reliable water sources on this trail, so bring water in sufficient quantities to stay hydrated for the entire distance.\nTo park a car at Humber Park you need a permit. These can be obtained at the US Forest Service office in Idyllwild (https://maps.app.goo.gl/85Tb37fQcAQQdvoa9 ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/85Tb37fQcAQQdvoa9 )).

The route for this hike follows a loop using sections of Cedar Spring Trail, the Pacific Crest Tail (PCT) near Hwy 74, and Eagle Spring Trail.\nThe hike starts at 8 AM, at the southern terminus of Cedar Spring Trail, about a 1 hour drive from Palm Desert. From here, we ascend Cedar Spring Trail until it meets the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), at 6800’ elevation. We cross the PCT and proceed 1 mile downhill to Cedar Spring. This is a very popular water resupply location as well as a place for PCT travelers to camp. Jeff will bring a water filter so participants can refill their water containers. After a brief break, we turn around and hike back up the trail to the PCT. We then head up the PCT for approximately 3/4 mile to the intersection with Eagle Spring Trail Junction. At this point, we head down Eagle Spring Trail to its intersection with Cedar Spring Trail and finally, follow Cedar Spring back to the starting point for a total hike distance of 6.14 miles and 1948′ elevation gain.\nSince long-distance PCT hikers are moving through this area now, we have the opportunity to share some trail magic. Participants are invited to bring a gallon of water to leave at the intersection of the PCT and Cedar Springs trail. That is to say, participants would carry extra water up the first pitch of the route (2.04 miles and 1254 feet of elevation gain) before offloading the water at the trail intersection. The donated water will save long-distance hikers a 2 mile off-trail trip to resupply water. Of course, bringing extra water is voluntary and if participants aren’t comfortable carrying that additional weight that’s perfectly OK and understandable. Please don’t feel obligated.\nParticipants who would like to carpool should meet at 7:05 AM at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, 47535 Hwy 74, Palm Desert. Car pools will be organized there.\nParticipants who want to drive themselves should meet at 8:00 AM at Cedar Springs Trail, GPS coordinates: 33.65477, -116.58666. (Refer to the attached Google Map which shows the hike start point. Enter the GPS coordinates into a mapping program to get detailed driving directions.) Participants who will drive themselves to the trail and are starting from Palm Desert will follow Hwy 74 over the mountains, past Pinyon Pines and the Hwy 371 turnoff, to Morris Ranch Road. Take a right onto Morris Ranch Road and follow it almost to the end, to the intersection with Pathfinder Road. Turn right onto Pathfinder Road and follow it for less than 1 mile to the end of the road and the Cedar Spring trailhead.\nPlease don’t hesitate to contact Jeff with any questions(541-954-1531).\nHike leader: Jeff Guckenberger\nCumulative altitude gain: 1948 ft\nDistance: 6.14 miles\nPace: Medium/fast\nDifficulty: Strenuous\nHike Locator: Mountain Center\nIF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HIKING WITH JEFF, PLEASE CALL OR TEXT (541-954-1531.).

The golf course closed years later, however, as interest in golf declined. The property changed hands and was being marketed to potential developers as a desirable location for new condominiums. \n \nAfter years of dealing with course owners, city planners and nearby homeowners, the Oswit Land Trust was able to purchase the property in the summer of 2022. Key to this becoming a reality was an enormously generous gift from local resident Brad Prescott.\n \nOSL is now in the process of restoring the land back to nature.

The goal is to enable Club members to assess their pace and be able to communicate it to CVHC hike leaders when they sign up for future hikes.  \nThe Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. \nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. The hike will take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on pace. \nWe will meet in the parking area where the trail begins and break into groups. \nThe parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74, south of Palm Desert.

(This is not the Bigfoot Panorama Loop).\nThe hike begins walking through a sandy wash and then we will start hiking up a gradual incline to the top of a ridge which offers spectacular views of JTNP as well as San Gorgonio.

After a very short walk through a sandy wash, we ascend a little-used series of dry rock waterfalls. This Canyon drainage gets very little hiker traffic and is absolutely beautiful!  There are approximately 10 rock scrambles in the initial ascent to Dunn Road, each between 10-25 feet high. See the photo of Jeff ascending one of the taller scrambles. (If you’ve done Magnesia Falls, there’s nothing here more difficult than any of those scrambles. If you haven’t scrambled Magnesia Falls and are worried about your ability, please call Jeff and he will describe in more detail what’s involved.)\nWe follow this Canyon all the way up to Dunn Road where it intersects with a trail that parallels Dunn Road for approximately .25 mile. We cross Dunn Road and follow a fairly new trail that parallels Wild Horse trail but is located up on the side of the hill. Views are spectacular from there! This trail gets some bike use but not many Hikers venture there. (Note: Visibility on this trail is good. It’s safe to share the trail with the few bikes that use it.)\nWe follow this trail to Clara Burgess Trail; then follow Clara Burgess Trail up Murray Hill. We take our lunch break up at the picnic tables on Murray. After a break, we descend Clara Burgess on the north face of Murray and intersect with a series of trails that lead us back around to the Cathedral Canyon West wash. There are several hidden canyons and interesting rock formations there.\nThis is a loop hike and we return back to the starting point on Foothill Road. This hike feels longer than its 9 miles, so be prepared for a big day of fun! \nPlease call with any questions.\n9.0 miles with elevation gain of 1750 feet; medium to fast pace; 4.25 hours moving hike time \nMeet at the west end of Foothill Road, Cathedral City, at 8:00 AM.

The trail runs along ridges and down through washes and narrow canyons with stunning views to the Salton Sea and north into the vast hills of the trailless eastern section of the park. An array of cactus species and desert plants provide a backdrop for the antics of multiple lizards scurrying out of our way. Adventurous hikers can descend off trail to the oasis at the end of the trail via a steep vertical descent (and ascent on the way back) while the rest of us relax at the top and enjoy the amazing views! \nThe trail surface is mostly hard packed sand and rock and no rock climbing or scrambling is involved (except for those who go down to the oasis). There is no shade or water on the trail. Bring plenty of water and snacks.\nWe will meet at the Cottonwood Tr parking lot in JTNP at 9am. To reach the parking lot, use I-10 East to reach the JTNP turn off. Follow the JTNP entrance road north until Cottonwood road appears on your right.

After a very short walk through a sandy wash, we begin a steep ascent up the Cathedral Canyon East Trail. The beginning of the hike will definitely get your heart rate up for the first 3 miles and then becomes a gentle climb. The desert formations change quickly as you ascend and there have been many Bighorn sheep seen on the last several hikes this year. \nAfter 4 miles on the trail, we will head off on very faint “trail” toward the Magnesia Falls/Springs drainage. After crossing that canyon, we will continue through an ever-changing Desert and eventually arrive at the Art Smith Trail. We will continue up the Art Smith trail to the picnic tables and have a bite to eat before returning back on the Cathedral Canyon East Trail. \nThere will be approximately 1/2 mile of loose rock at the beginning of the hike and then of course again on the descent. Hiking poles may make some people more comfortable on the descent.

Homeowner associations, school districts, and college campuses are fertile grounds for educational efforts, where poisons are removed, and in their place, the more effective and less expensive strategies of repel, exclude, and deter methods are deployed. Their talk will explain how pesticides, including herbicides and insecticides, disrupt vital ecosystem functions by degrading habitats, disturbing food webs, and killing soil organisms. \n \nPoison Free Malibu is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to educate the citizenry, businesses, and government about the need to stop using dangerous poisons that are affecting wildlife, pets, and people. The situation is not well known or understood by the public. The key is education and ultimately new policies and regulations.  Kian and Joel began their activism in Malibu, with the city passing a Resolution opposing anticoagulant rodent poison use in July 2013. They subsequently have worked with 11 other southern California cities for similar Resolutions. The 2013 Malibu Resolution proclaimed Malibu’s commitment to not use anticoagulant rat poison on city property. This was expanded to include all pesticides and became official city policy in the form of the “Earth Friendly Management Policy” in June 2019. Kian and Joel helped Ojai pass a similar Policy in December of 2024.\nPresentation location: Mizell Center, 480 S Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262. Parking available in parking lot on Ramon.\n\nThis event is being put on by the Oswit Land Trust.  The event is free and open to the public but space is limited.

The old trail to Olsen Cabin was destroyed in a rainstorm a few years ago and has been closed ever since. A new trail has been laid out and partially rebuilt but there is some challenging work to be completed close to the end. Because the trail is being cut up and out of the canyon itself, it needs steps and other reinforcement to make it safe and durable. Without it, hikers won’t be able to reach the historic cabin as the old trail is muddy and overgrown, largely impassable. \nWe have about a half dozen volunteers so far who joined us last time but we really need 5 or 6 more strong workers to help with the steps and reinforcing the existing sections of trail close to the cabin. \nVolunteers should be comfortable working at a few thousand feet of elevation. Tools will be provided but please bring gloves, a hat, protective eyewear, and a couple liters of water and a snack. Weather may be cool so dress in layers.\n\nPlease email Dan Coleman, CVHC, teninopt@gmail.com ( mailto:teninopt@gmail.com ), if you have any questions or will help. \nWe’ll confirm a day or two before the work day to ensure we have enough resources to complete the job.

Skyline can be accessed from the Museum Trail but for this hike, we will take the more southern N Lykken Trail.\nSkyline is one of the hardest trails in the valley with steep pitches that will send your heart rate soaring. It is rugged with many steep “step ups/step downs”. We don’t stop for sit-down rest breaks but will pause on the flat spots to collect the group and continue on. There will be great views of the valley along the way but the emphasis will be on keeping it moving.\nBecause of the steepness of this route and the irregularities in the trail surface, poles are recommended, especially for anyone with knee issues.

The trail runs along ridges and down through washes and narrow canyons with stunning views to the Salton Sea and north into the vast hills of the trailless eastern section of the park. An array of cactus species and desert plants provide a backdrop for the antics of multiple lizards scurrying out of our way. Adventurous hikers can descend off trail to the oasis at the end of the trail via a steep vertical descent (and ascent on the way back) while the rest of us relax at the top and enjoy the amazing views! \nThe trail surface is mostly hard packed sand and rock and no rock climbing or scrambling is involved (except for those who go down to the oasis). There is no shade or water on the trail. Bring plenty of water and snacks.\nWe will meet at the Cottonwood parking lot in JTNP. To reach the parking lot, use I-10 East to reach the JTNP turn off. Follow the JTNP entrance road north until Cottonwood road appears on your right. The ranger station and visitors’ center is at this intersection and presents your last chance for a restroom! Turn right on Cottonwood and follow it to the end.  If you prefer to carpool, the hike leader will provide a list of all registered hikers several days before the hike and everyone should use that list to make arrangements.  A common staging area for carpools for this hike is the Starbucks on Varner Road near the intersection of Washington and I-10. From that parking lot, it is a 39 mile drive to the trailhead, so budget sufficient time to cover that distance.\nThe hike will commence at 08:30.

DESCRIPTION:This gentle hike is one of the most popular trails in the Coachella Valley. The Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. The Visitors Center for the Santa Rosa San Jacinto Mountains National Monument is right next to the parking lot and is worth a visit after the hike (buy a T-shirt!).\nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. The walk will take 1.25 to 1.75 hours and we will have plenty of time to discuss the wide variety of desert plants, animals and geological formations which we will encounter along the trail.\nWe will meet in the parking area where the trail begins. The parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74, south of Palm Desert.

This easy hike starts on the shoulder of hwy 74 halfway up the grade south of Palm Desert and drops into the sandy/rocky upper portion of the Carrizo Canyon. This short hike (~2 miles) leads us through the wash of Carrizo Canyon above the dry falls leading down to Lower Carrizo Canyon. Although this is an easy walk, this trail does not receive a lot of traffic. We will spend most of our time walking in a sandy wash with the occasional bit of rocky trail. No climbing or bouldering is required and the altitude gain/loss is ~500 feet. \nParking is limited (we park in a pull out area on the west side of hwy 74), so carpooling is encouraged.

Still curious about what lies ahead in several side canyons and at the several water features further on, we’ll begin our return, taking the more northern half of the Loop Trail back to the cars. Exploring deeper into the Canyon will have to wait for another, more demanding, hike.\nBring a pair of trekking poles if you are not sure-footed or are a bit tippy when walking on the several very short patches of steep terrain. For a minute or 2, we’ll be on steep, but well-textured slick rock, so wear grippy soled shoes. There are step-ups/step-downs to complete the assortment of trail conditions on this sampler of the Canyon itself. Don’t wear your Sunday best because there are a few cat claw bushes armored and ready to shred your skin or clothing.\nWe’ll meet on the sidewalk at the Oswit Land Trust Loop Trail trailhead just south of the southern trailhead of the S Lykken Trail in Palm Springs.

This loop trail is a fun way to explore the rugged southern part of JTNP without a huge effort. You’ll hike on sandy trails, then hike up stairs carved in stone to the base of Mastadon Peak. There is an option to scramble to the top of the peak (only for those interested) where you’re treated to panoramic views of the desert and mountains. After that, the hike passes the abandoned Mastadon Mine on a long easy downhill back to the start.\nWe will meet at the Cottonwood parking lot in JTNP. To reach the parking lot, use I-10 East to reach the JTNP turn off. Follow the JTNP entrance road north until Cottonwood Road appears on your right. The ranger station and visitors’ center is at this intersection and presents your last chance for a restroom!

The Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. The Visitors Center for the Santa Rosa San Jacinto Mountains National Monument is right next to the parking lot and is worth a visit after the hike (buy a T-shirt!).\nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. The walk will take 1.0 to 1.5 hours and we will have plenty of time to discuss the wide variety of desert plants, animals and geological formations which we will encounter along the trail.\nWe will meet in the parking area where the trail begins. The parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74, south of Palm Desert.

Starting from the parking area at the intersection of Avenue 42 and Golf Center Parkway in Indio, we will cross a sandy ‘no man’s land’ where OHV drivers cavort until we reach the surrealist’s dream that is the Indio Hills. These stone hills have been shaped over the millenia into graceful curves and passageways, providing us with something new and surprising around every turn.\nThe trail loops through the hills and includes a few spots where we will need to step up ~3 feet. Most of the trail is a combination of rock (gritty, not slick rock) and sand. The loop will take us back to where we entered the hills and from there we return to the parking area to finish the trail.\nThe hike is a touch over 5 miles long with numerous ups and downs resulting in a total elevation gain of 784 feet. Along the way we will have sweeping views of the Valley and the Salton Sea. We will start around 08:30 and should be finished by noon.\nAs usual, there is very little shade and the hills experience a lot of wind.

Our outbound route climbs up to the intersection with the trail going to Tahquitz Peak and the fire lookout station, but we keep left and follow the PCT to a wonderful overlook of the Coachella Valley and the Southeastern expanse of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains.\nAfter a break for snacks/lunch, we head back up the PCT but take the Little Tahquitz Valley trail back to Saddle Junction. This trail takes us through meadows and stands of old trees with lots of birdlife.  From the Saddle Junction we skip back down the Devil’s Slide to the Humber Park parking area where our cars await.\nThis trail is rated Strenuous due to the total distance (11.1 miles). The trails are well marked with plenty of switchbacks to even out the grade. We will maintain a moderate pace (~2 mph) and will take regular breaks when and where appropriate. The initial climb up Devil’s Slide is an aerobic challenge, but the rest of the trail has a comparatively shallow gradient.\nThere is no water available on this route, so pack at least 3 liters. Bring some food, including lunch.\nYou will need a parking permit to park at Humber Park. A National Park pass or State Park pass works or you can pick up a parking permit at the USFS office in Idyllwild.\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/64FUNTM\nFor driving directions, search for ‘Humber Park, Idyllwild’ in your favorite map application.\n\nAltitude gain: 2661 feet  (Start 6486, Top 8608) \nCumulative altitude gain: 2661 feet\nDistance: 11.1 miles\nPace: 2.0 MPH, 5.5-6 hours\nTerrain: packed trail, some rocks, chance of a blowdown\nObstacles: nothing significant\nDifficulty rating:  Strenuous (due to length)\n\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nHIKE LEADER:  Andrew Walls\nHIKE LOCATOR:  Devil’s Slide, Idyllwild\nHIKE DATE/TIME: Saturday, Sept 14, 2024  08:30-15:30\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/devils-slide-pct-lollipop/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Idyllwild LOCATION:Humber Park END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-5112277ea658f7138694f079042cc3bb@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241109T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241109T000000 DTSTAMP:20240906T145239Z CREATED:20240906 LAST-MODIFIED:20241022 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:6 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Carrizo Canyon [Time Change to 09:30 start!] DESCRIPTION:Carrizo Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. This easy hike begins at the Art Smith parking lot and gradually climbs south through soft sand in a wide wash with evidence of a history of mining, exploration and recreational use over many decades. The wash narrows as we enter the canyon where we are amazed at the stunning folding and layering of metamorphic rock in the canyon walls. As the canyon narrows, the trail gets a bit rockier and poles can be handy for maintaining one’s balance. We will carefully scramble over a few granite boulders. After a visit to a dry waterfall, we will take a side trail up Indian Canyon and up a 5 foot rock ladder to an overlook from which you can see back to Palm Desert and up Carrizo Canyon to a stand of California palms at an oasis hidden above the dry fall. We retrace our steps to return to the parking lot.\n\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/U4Q7J\nAltitude gain: 364 feet  (1044′ to 1408′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 503 feet\nDistance: 2.3 miles\nPace: 1-1.5 MPH, ~2 hours\nTerrain: Slightly varied, deep sand, short climb, some slick rock\nObstacles: Rocks, boulders, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Easy to Moderate\n\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nHIKE LEADER: Andrew Walls\nHIKE LOCATOR: Palm Desert\nHIKE DIFFICULTY: Easy to Moderate\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/thursday-moderate-hikes-mods-2-2-3-343-633-101/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Palm Desert ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/carrizo-canyon-ca.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-b81132591828d622fc335860bffec150@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241221T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241221T120000 DTSTAMP:20240905T143212Z CREATED:20240905 LAST-MODIFIED:20241118 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Eisenhower Loop at the Living Desert Zoological Park: RESCHEDULED!!! DESCRIPTION:Hidden behind the Living Desert Zoological Park, this moderate trail climbs onto the flank of Eisenhower Peak. The trail starts next to the Big Horn Sheep enclosure and then heads east into the arroyo and hills. We will take the trail counter-clockwise, starting with a sandy wash with lots of rocks and then climbing up onto the banks of the wash before ascending steadily to the picnic area at the base of the peak. The trail is rugged, with lots of rocks and some exposure along steep slopes above the wash. Boulder hopping is minimal and no climbing is required.\nThe trail is clearly marked and navigation is easy. We will take a break at the picnic tables to enjoy the various views available from this high point. Bring a snack! I like to use hiking poles on this hike to improve my balance in the rocky wash. As always, protect your skin from the sun, pack the ten essentials, and wear footgear suitable to the terrain.\nYou must pay to enter Living Desert or be a member to access the trail.  We will meet at the front entrance to the Zoo.

DESCRIPTION:This challenging and exciting hike begins simply enough at Blixseth Park. The trail – such as it is – heads south along a fence and water diversion canal, ascends a massive, concrete dike, crosses a catchment basin and then goes up a steep slope to the wash which marks the beginning of the actual canyon. From there, the trail advances up a giant’s staircase of pour overs and washes involving multiple slick rock climbs from 8 to over 30 feet tall until we reach an 80 foot dry fall where an unmarked side trail scrambles up a very steep slope to get past the falls. This climb will have your heart pounding and your lungs straining while your feet and legs struggle to find something solid to step on.\nSoon after, we reach a massive pile of boulders which we will climb to resume the Giant’s staircase through washes cluttered with flash flood debris until we reach the Art Smith Trail. The boulder climb will test your balance and comfort levels with vertical exposure!\nOnce we are on the Art Smith trail we have a walk along Art Smith trail and Dunn Road to the trailhead in Cathedral Cove. Anticipate a lot of sun exposure along the Art Smith and dress accordingly. Bring plenty of water!\nThe route through the canyon involves sun exposure and shade, producing large temperature swings. The route moves through catclaw acacia and palm fond debris piles, so dress to protect your skin and stay alert for rattlesnakes.\nThis hike requires a shuttle between Cathedral Cove and the Magnesia Spring TH.\nMap here: https://caltopo.com/m/D9GVFST\n\nAltitude gain: 2087 feet  (328′ to 2415′) \nCumulative altitude gain: 2360 feet\nDistance: 9.5 miles\nPace: 2 MPH, ~5.5 hours\nTerrain: Highly varied, climbing, scree slopes, deep sand, slick rock, high steps up and down\nObstacles: Rock slabs, boulder slope, plant debris\nDifficulty rating:  Strenuous\n\nPlease email Andrew to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\n Limit of 8 hikers!\nHIKE LEADER: Andrew Walls\nHIKE LOCATOR: Rancho Mirage\nHIKE DIFFICULTY: Strenuous\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/magnesia-falls-to-art-smith-trailhead-highway-74-3-2-519-154-116-555/ ORGANIZER;CN=Andrew Walls:MAILTO:atwalls@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Rancho Mirage LOCATION:Rancho Mirage END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-2e64da0bae6a7533021c760d4ba5d621@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240914T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240914T160000 DTSTAMP:20240808T115844Z CREATED:20240808 LAST-MODIFIED:20240909 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:6 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:CANCELLED DUE TO FIRE: South Fork Trail to Dry Lake (San Gorgonio) DESCRIPTION:The San Gorgonio wilderness is closed to hiking due to the approaching Line fire.\nSouth Fork Trail to Dry Lake (San Gorgonio)\nThis moderate/strenuous hike in the hills north of San Gorgonio will start at 8:30 at the South Fork Trailhead parking lot (on Jenks Lake West). We will follow the well-marked trail to the intersection with Dry Lake Trail, cross the creek and proceed uphill to Dry Lake. Along this ~11 mile walk we will enjoy views of San Gorgonio Peak. We will ascend ~2200 feet over 5.5 miles of the hike, so get ready for a great cardio workout! We will take a break at the creek (excellent water source!) and plan for lunch on the edge of Dry Lake.\nThe trail is well-defined and no rock scrambling or climbing is involved. There are numerous switchbacks and some minor exposure along some of the slopes. The hike involves moderate elevation gain and loss. Hiking poles are recommended to save your joints on the downhill stretch.\nThere is water available on the trail, so bring filtering or chemicals if you want to replenish your hydration from the local sources. We will maintain a medium pace based on terrain (faster on the flat, slower going up/down).  Everyone should park at the South Fork trailhead parking lot (see map below), which requires a permit.

Along this ~11 mile walk we will enjoy views over the Idyllwild basin and the eastern Coachella Valley. We will ascend ~2200 feet in the first 4 miles of the hike, so get ready for a great cardio workout! I generally take short breaks at the top of Devil’s Slide and at the Tahquitz Peak to have a snack and enjoy the views.\nThe trail is well-defined and no rock scrambling or climbing is involved. There is a bit of exposure on the trail to Tahquitz Peak. The hike involves considerable elevation gain and loss. Hikers should be comfortable with considerable physical exertion.

This is the ultimate hike for the hardcore hiker in the Coachella Valley! This 14 mile trail/route begins in La Quinta Cove on the Boo Hof and then climbs relentlessly up the Guadalupe trail until it reaches the Horse Thief trail and exits at Hwy 74 at Pinyon Flats. We will climb 4500 feet above La Quinta, passing by the collapsed cabin and artifacts at Cowboy Camp (where we eat lunch) through dense brush via trails and routes that require solid navigation skills and an ability to read the terrain. \nThe terrain is steep and rocky with dense brush obscuring the route. Once we reach the saddle at 4833 foot elevation (4500 feet up in 7.5 miles), we are lulled into a false sense of accomplishment as the trail levels out and even goes downhill a bit. Then the trail slaps us awake with more climbing through tight washes and over crumbling ridges to our exit at the Pinyon Flat transfer station.\nA successful hike on this route demands preparation – fitness, mental stamina (this is a marathon, not a sprint), gear (the ten essentials are, well, essential) and good teamwork to keep everyone moving forward. Although no rock climbing or bouldering is involved, the trail surface is rugged and sloping in all directions. We will scramble through dense brush and washes crowded with trees and bushes. A shuttle is required and long sleeves and pants are recommended to protect skin from the plentiful vegetation.\nWe will start early so we can finish before sundown. It might be cooler up top. Bring layers to take off and put on to keep yourself comfortable as the temperature fluctuates.\nThere are no bail-outs on this remote, tough, one-way event. If you aren’t doing the 1/2 Tram hike because it’s too hard, this hike is not for you.\nWe allow eight hours to hike the 13.9 mile trail (1.7 mph). This hike requires a shuttle. We will leave one or more vehicles (depending on number of hikers) and then drive to LQC for the start. Please let me know if you can support the shuttle by leaving a vehicle at the Pinyon Pines parking area.\nEssential gear for this trail:\n\nHeadlamp with plenty of power (spare batteries)\nHiking poles\nShoes/boots with good tread\nLayers of clothing (it gets cooler as we go up!)\nLong pants are recommended as much of the trail is overgrown. Lots of scratches!\nFood (lunch, snacks, emergency dinner)\nWater- 3 liters (it is 12 miles to the first water source)\nNavigation gear (compass, topo map, GPS, etc.) Leader will handle most route finding\n\nThis is an epic hike. The challenges are intense and the scenery is delightful. The trail between Boo Hoff and Cactus Springs is eroded, overgrown. and tricky to navigate. Come prepared to work hard and have a memorable experience!\nThe plan is to set up the shuttle and be at the LQC parking lot (Eastern lot) to start walking by 07:30.\n13.9 Miles with Elevation gain 4,500 ft (5400 cumulative) and 1,741 feet of downhill.

The top of the Lost Canyon returns us to the Boo Hof and from there, we return to our cars in the parking lot.\nThe Boo Hof trail is well-marked and very popular, but the climb to the top (at the wilderness boundary) is a real workout for the cardio-vascular system. Only tackle this if you feel like the Bump-and-Grind is a bit too easy. The descent to the start of the Lost Canyon trail is good trail with a gradual descent.\nReturning up the Lost Canyon route involves rock scrambling, route finding and, probably, some colorful language as we tackle the challenging slope up this seldom travelled side canyon. There is a lovely waterfall to visit along the way! If we are unable to find the route up canyon, we will return to the canyon mouth and return via Boo Hof.\nEssential gear for this trail:\n\nHeadlamp with plenty of power (spare batteries)\nHiking poles\nShoes/boots with good tread\nLong pants are recommended as some rock scrambling is involved\nFood (lunch, snacks, emergency dinner)\nWater- 3 liters \nNavigation gear (compass, topo map, GPS, etc.) Leader will handle most route finding\n\nThe plan is to depart the LQC parking lot (Eastern lot) to start walking by 08:30.\n12.35 Miles with Elevation gain/loss 3300 ft .

It is highly invasive, spreading copious amounts of seed by wind, hikers, and traffic.  It displaces native flora, disrupting bird and riparian habitat. Fountain grass also increases fuel availability in wildlands, which increases the intensity and size of wildfires, threatening native desert species. \nThis activity involves cutting and bagging seeds, digging, and walking on uneven surfaces.\nTo volunteer, email DavidP@OswitLandTrust.org ( mailto:DavidP@OswitLandTrust.org ).\nIf you have questions, you can contact Shirl Donahue at shirldonahue@gmail.com.\n \n\n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/trail-maintenance-13-2-2-2-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-660-571-304-559-895-492-264-953-453-742-708-300-133/ LOCATION:Palm Springs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Fountain-Grass.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-1ba922ac006a8e5f2b123684c2f4d65f@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240109T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240109T120000 DTSTAMP:20231214T054925Z CREATED:20231214 LAST-MODIFIED:20240102 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:21 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:TRAIL MAINTENANCE — GOAT HILLS DESCRIPTION:\n\nCoachella Valley Hiking Club organizes work groups to maintain our much-loved and well-used trails.

The Randall Henderson trail is an easy 2.5 mile loop rising 430 feet to a great view to the northwest. The trail is well marked and passes through washes, over ridges and along an old roadbed. Although there are a few moderately steep sections, there are no boulders to hop or dry waterfalls to surmount. The Visitors Center for the Santa Rosa San Jacinto Mountains National Monument is right next to the parking lot and is worth a visit after the hike (buy a T-shirt!).\nThis is an easy trail with a good trail surface with a few rocks here and there. We will meet in the parking area where the trail begins. The parking area is on the east side of Hwy 74 south of Palm Desert. See a roadmap here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nhnyL4AyXRFzPgEJ8 ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/nhnyL4AyXRFzPgEJ8 )\nThe walk will take 1.0to 1.5 hours and we will have plenty of time to discuss the wide variety of desert plants, animals and geological formations which we will encounter along the trail.\nTrail map available here: https://caltopo.com/m/777TG ( https://caltopo.com/m/777TG )\nPlease email Shirl to sign up for this hike and include your phone number.\nHIKE LEADER: Shirl Donahue\nHIKE LOCATOR: Palm Desert\nHIKE DIFFICULTY: Easy\nHIKE DATE/TIME: Monday, October 21th 8am\nNote: You must be a current CVHC member to hike with the club!   Join Now!\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/randall-henderson-trail/ ORGANIZER;CN=Shirl Donahue:MAILTO:shirldonahue@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Palm Desert END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-c5eee1896752e5ac19a3a0bb34fbab4b@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240330T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240330T173000 DTSTAMP:20231201T142443Z CREATED:20231201 LAST-MODIFIED:20240410 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:23 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:CANCELLED! Bad weather expected.GUADALUPE TRAIL FROM LA QUINTA COVE TO PINYON PINES DESCRIPTION:One of the epic journeys in the desert, Guadalupe is a dawn-to-dusk hike this time of the year. This is the ultimate hike for the hardcore hiker in the Coachella Valley! This 14 mile trail/route begins in La Quinta Cove on the Boo Hof and then climbs relentlessly up the Guadalupe trail until it reaches the Horse Thief trail and exits at Hwy 74 at Pinyon Flats. We will climb 4500 feet above La Quinta, passing by the collapsed cabin and artifacts at Cowboy Camp (where we eat lunch) through dense brush via trails and routes that require solid navigation skills and an ability to read the terrain. \nThe terrain is steep and rocky with dense brush obscuring the route. Once we reach the saddle at 4833 foot elevation (4500 feet up in 7.5 miles), we are lulled into a false sense of accomplishment as the trail levels out and even goes downhill a bit. Then the trail slaps us awake with more climbing through tight washes and over crumbling ridges to our exit at the Pinyon Flat transfer station.\nA successful hike on this route demands preparation – fitness, mental stamina (this is a marathon, not a sprint), gear (the ten essentials are, well, essential) and good teamwork to keep everyone moving forward. Although no rock climbing or bouldering is involved, the trail surface is rugged and sloping in all directions. We will scramble through dense brush and washes crowded with trees and bushes. A shuttle is required and long sleeves and pants are recommended to protect skin from the plentiful vegetation.\nDue to the short amount of daylight available this time of year, we will start early so we can finish before sundown. It will be COLD up top. Bring layers to take off and put on to keep yourself comfortable as the temperature fluctuates.\nThere are no bail-outs on this remote, tough, one-way event. If you aren’t doing the 1/2 Tram hike because it’s too hard, this hike is not for you.\nWe allow eight hours to hike the 13.9 mile trail (1.7 mph). This hike requires a shuttle. We will leave one or more vehicles (depending on number of hikers) and then drive to LQC for the start. Please let me know if you can support the shuttle by leaving a vehicle at the Pinyon Pines parking area.\nEssential gear for this trail:\n\nHeadlamp with plenty of power (spare batteries)\nHiking poles\nShoes/boots with good tread\nLayers of clothing (it gets cooler as we go up!)\nLong pants are recommended as much of the trail is overgrown. Lots of scratches!\nFood (lunch, snacks, emergency dinner)\nWater- 3 liters (it is 12 miles to the first water source)\nNavigation gear (compass, topo map, GPS, etc.) Leader will handle most route finding\n\nThis is an epic hike. The challenges are intense and the scenery is delightful. The trail between Boo Hoff and Cactus Springs is eroded, overgrown. and tricky to navigate. Come prepared to work hard and have a memorable experience!\nThe plan is to set up the shuttle and be at the LQC parking lot (Eastern lot) to start walking by 07:30.\n13.9 Miles with Elevation gain 4,500 ft (5400 cumulative) and 1,741 feet of downhill.

The trail starts next to the Big Horn Sheep enclosure and then heads east into the arroyo and hills. We will take the trail counter-clockwise, starting with a sandy wash with lots of rocks and then climbing up onto the banks of the wash before ascending steadily to the picnic area at the base of the peak. The trail is rugged, with lots of rocks and some exposure along steep slopes above the wash. Boulder hopping is minimal and no climbing is required.\nThe trail is clearly marked and navigation is easy. We will take a break at the picnic tables to enjoy the various views available from this high point. Bring a snack! I like to use hiking poles on this hike to improve my balance in the rocky wash. As always, protect your skin from the sun, pack the ten essentials, and wear footgear suitable to the terrain.\nYou must pay to enter Living Desert or be a member to access the trail.  We will meet at the front entrance to the Zoo.

Starting from the parking area at the intersection of Avenue 42 and Golf Center Parkway in Indio, we will cross a sandy ‘no man’s land’ where OHV drivers cavort until we reach the surrealist’s dream that is the Indio Hills. These stone hills have been shaped over the millenia into graceful curves and passageways, providing us with something new and surprising around every turn.\nThe trail loops through the hills and includes a few spots where we will need to step up ~3 feet. Most of the trail is a combination of rock (gritty, not slick rock) and sand. The loop will take us back to where we entered the hills and from there we return to the parking area to finish the trail.\nThis is a dog-friendly trail, so you can bring your favorite canine with you. If you do, bring water for them, keep them on leash, be prepared to lift them up to get past high steps (if they are a small dog) and please make sure they are up to date on their vaccinations.\nThe hike is a touch over 5 miles long with numerous ups and downs resulting in a total elevation gain of 784 feet. Along the way we will have sweeping views of the Valley and the Salton Sea.\nAs usual, there is very little shade and the hills experience a lot of wind. Protect your skin and bring layers to stay warm.\nWe will meet at the trailhead in the parking lot at the intersection of Avenue 42 and Golf Center Parkway in Indio.

Along this 4.4 mile walk we will enjoy views over the Cove neighborhood and the wilds of the Santa Rosa mountains towering over the Cove. We will chat about the impact of flash floods and the transition of vegetation as we move from the floor of the wash and up onto the plateau surrounding Raven Hill. \nThe trail is well-defined and no rock scrambling or climbing is involved. There is a gradual uphill slope for the first half of the walk as we ascend ~600 feet over 2 miles.\nThere is no shade on this trail, so protect your skin and bring the ten essentials.

Skyline can be accessed from the Museum Trail but for this hike, we will take the more southern N Lykken Trail.\nSkyline is one of the hardest trails in the valley with steep pitches that will send your heart rate soaring.

The trail runs along ridges and down through washes and narrow canyons with stunning views to the Salton Sea and north into the vast hills of the trailless eastern section of the park. An array of cactus species and desert plants provide a backdrop for the antics of multiple lizards scurrying out of our way. Adventurous hikers can descend off trail to the oasis at the end of the trail via a steep vertical descent (and ascent on the way back) while the rest of us relax at the top and enjoy the amazing views! \nThe trail surface is mostly hard packed sand and rock and no rock climbing or scrambling is involved (except for those who go down to the oasis). There is no shade or water on the trail. Bring plenty of water and snacks.\nWe will meet at the Cottonwood parking lot in JTNP. To reach the parking lot, use I-10 East to reach the JTNP turn off. Follow the JTNP entrance road north until Cottonwood road appears on your right. The ranger station and visitors’ center is at this intersection and presents your last chance for a restroom! Turn right on Cottonwood and follow it to the end.  If you prefer to carpool, the hike leader will provide a list of all registered hikers several days before the hike and everyone should use that list to make arrangements.  A common staging area for carpools for this hike is the Starbucks on Varner Road near the intersection of Washington and I-10. From that parking lot, it is a 39 mile drive to the trailhead, so budget sufficient time to cover that distance.\nThe hike will commence at 08:30.

This is the ultimate hike for the hardcore hiker in the Coachella Valley! This 14 mile trail/route begins in La Quinta Cove on the Boo Hof and then climbs relentlessly up the Guadalupe trail until it reaches the Horse Thief trail and exits at Hwy 74 at Pinyon Flats. We will climb 4500 feet above La Quinta, passing by the collapsed cabin and artifacts at Cowboy Camp (where we eat lunch) through dense brush via trails and routes that require solid navigation skills and an ability to read the terrain. \nThe terrain is steep and rocky with dense brush obscuring the route. Once we reach the saddle at 4833 foot elevation (4500 feet up in 7.5 miles), we are lulled into a false sense of accomplishment as the trail levels out and even goes downhill a bit. Then the trail slaps us awake with more climbing through tight washes and over crumbling ridges to our exit at the Pinyon Flat transfer station.\nA successful hike on this route demands preparation – fitness, mental stamina (this is a marathon, not a sprint), gear (the ten essentials are, well, essential) and good teamwork to keep everyone moving forward. Although no rock climbing or bouldering is involved, the trail surface is rugged and sloping in all directions. We will scramble through dense brush and washes crowded with trees and bushes. A shuttle is required and long sleeves and pants are recommended to protect skin from the plentiful vegetation.\nDue to the short amount of daylight available this time of year, we will start early so we can finish before sundown. It will be COLD up top. Bring layers to take off and put on to keep yourself comfortable as the temperature fluctuates.\nThere are no bail-outs on this remote, tough, one-way event. If you aren’t doing the 1/2 Tram hike because it’s too hard, this hike is not for you.\nWe allow eight hours to hike the 13.9 mile trail (1.7 mph). This hike requires a shuttle. We will leave one or more vehicles (depending on number of hikers) and then drive to LQC for the start. Please let me know if you can support the shuttle by leaving a vehicle at the Pinyon Pines parking area.\nEssential gear for this trail:\n\nHeadlamp with plenty of power (spare batteries)\nHiking poles\nShoes/boots with good tread\nLayers of clothing (it gets cooler as we go up!)\nLong pants are recommended as much of the trail is overgrown.

And remember to notify Joe if you are unable to participate in a ride you have signed up for. \n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/e-bike-ride-palm-desert-687-533-768/ ORGANIZER;CN=Joe Phillips:MAILTO:jcpmoto51@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-29fdff891569187da8e5ed4f7a6ea4c8@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230117T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230117T120000 DTSTAMP:20230108T201510Z CREATED:20230108 LAST-MODIFIED:20230108 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:7 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:TRAIL MAINTENANCE – CANCELED DESCRIPTION:\n\nNo trail maintenance is scheduled due to Buford’s memorial event at the Visitors Center .\nPlease call or text Gary Ward, CVHC Trail Maintenance liaison, 949-285-4664, if you have any questions.\n\n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/trail-maintenance-13-2-2-2-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-660-571-304-559-895-492-264-246/ ORGANIZER;CN=Gary Ward:MAILTO:gaudreygary@gmail.com ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trail-Maintenance.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-39e98420b5e98bfbdc8a619bef7b8f61@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230110T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230110T120000 DTSTAMP:20230108T202057Z CREATED:20230108 LAST-MODIFIED:20230108 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:8 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:TRAIL MAINTENANCE – LAKE CAHUILLA DESCRIPTION:\n\nHowdy Trailheads!\nSaddle Up!  We are headed down to Lake Cahuilla to work on the Lake side of the Cove to Lake Trail.  The work will involve minor repairs and grooming on the two hill portions of the trail that overlook the golf course.

This early start is a little rude but there is some travel time involved, so we want to get an early start.  Parking at the lake is limited, so we will try to double up as best we can before we leave the Beer Hunter.  \nBring all your regular trail building supplies, snacks, plenty of water in case we run long, and if you have a rain jacket, you might want to throw that in your pack too! Because of the location, I would like to wrap up in one day if possible.   Hope to see you soon!\nA special thanks to Noriko from the Parks Department for helping us with these arrangements!\nHappy Trails!\nPlease call or text Gary Ward, CVHC Trail Maintenance liaison, 949-285-4664, if you have any questions.\n\n\n URL:https://cvhikingclub.net/events/trail-maintenance-13-2-2-2-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-660-571-304-559-895-492-264-784/ ORGANIZER;CN=Gary Ward:MAILTO:gaudreygary@gmail.com CATEGORIES:La Quinta LOCATION:La Quinta ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cvhikingclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trail-Maintenance.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-32bbf7b2bc4ed14eb1e9c2580056a989@cvhikingclub.net DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230206T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230206T180000 DTSTAMP:20230109T134126Z CREATED:20230109 LAST-MODIFIED:20230206 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Palm Springs Historical Walking Tour – Modernist Treasures, The Indian Canyons Neighborhood DESCRIPTION:On ancestral land of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is an attractive collection of luxurious Modernist residences with impressive landscapes lining the historic Indian Canyons Golf Resort.\nWith spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and the lush fairways, these homes feature a treasure trove of concrete screen block patterns and a profusion of fascinating desert plants.

HOPE YOU’LL CONSIDER JOINING US ON ANOTHER HIKE SOON. ***\nOne of the epic journeys in the desert, Guadalupe is a dawn-to-dusk hike this time of the winter. There are no bail-outs on this remote, tough, one-way event. If you aren’t doing the 1/2 Tram hike because it’s too hard, this hike is not for you.\nWe allow ten hours to hike the trail. Starting from La Quinta Cove on the Boo Hoff trail, then taking the Guadalupe trail on a long, arduous climb to Cowboy camp.  After checking out the camp remains, the trail continues through 5 miles of wash until the end section, 3 miles of Horsethief Creek trail. We finish in Pinyon Pines, off Highway 74. \nThis is organized as a car key-exchange hike with the other Guadalupe Trail hike on this day, led by Andrew Walls. They will start at Pinyon Pines and finish in La Quinta Cove.  We expect to swap car keys and eat lunch with them at the midway point, Cowboy Camp.\nPlease bring a headlamp with extra batteries. Do not rely on a flashlight on your phone or otherwise. Let us know if you don’t have a headlight and we will loan you one. \nPoles are highly recommended, especially for the loose surface rock on the rolling hills trail at the end of the day.\nBring plenty of water. The first trail water that can be filtered is at about the 12 mile point.\nThis is an epic hike for most of us. The challenges are intense and the varied scenery is delightful. Come prepared to work hard and have a memorable experience!\nMeet at the Cove Oasis parking lot in La Quinta at Calle Tecate & Avenida Madero. Be ready to begin hiking at 6:30 am.

Twin Palms is William Krisel’s interpretation of the mid-century modern aesthetic. With their iconic butterfly roofs, clerestory windows, exposed concrete block, open carports, and breezeways, these homes are the hallmarks of Desert Modernism. In fact, the architectural design styles introduced in this neighborhood have forever changed the look of Palm Springs.  In addition to the 90 designed Krisel homes are 30 homes from other architects including a Donald Wexler designed home, the Lost in Space house, and one affectionally referred to as the Brady Bunch meets Studio 54.\nThe Twin Palms walk will be led by Scott Wigren. Scott is a docent with the Palm Springs Historical Society.  He lives in the Twin Palms neighborhood and developed the tour.\nMeet at 1005 E.

Yep, we’re going to sneak in a trail day that’s not on our usual Tuesday. There is a large boulder across the South Lykken trail in Palm Springs (about midway between the two picnic table areas). Hikers are making their way around it, but we would like to trim some of it off so horses can safely pass. We are going to meet at the South Lykken trailhead (North)this Friday (January 3) at 7:30am. This will involve about a 3 mile hike and the use of some heavy equipment (hammers, rock bars etc). This is the North Trailhead that is off Mesquite ave off Highway 111 before you get to downtown Palm Springs. (Near the Taquitz Canyon visitors center) After you turn on to Mesquite Ave, be sure to park before you reach Belardo Road. Street parking is restricted from there to the mountain.(about 2 blocks) Let me know if you can come so I can be properly equipped.

Wilson, San Bernardino and San Gorgonio).\nThe first part starts out relatively flat following a flowing creek and passing old stone homes, some in tact and some just the walls.  It’s shaded, scenic and very special.  As it continues the trail becomes rocky as in medium size rocks and some skree areas where rock slides have barreled through. The path is well maintained and easy to follow although caution advised as it’s easy to turn an ankle!  There are fabulous huge rocks with unusual patterns in them along the way.  The trail then changes as it turns into the forest and starts switching backing(rather steeply) up the mountain. Once at the junction there are signs for many other trails.  Cucamonga trail sign will be slightly to your left.\nIt’s a little over 2 miles to the peak. A couple things to consider.  The trail after the junction gets very narrow in parts with a steep drop off to one side.  It’s very doable but needs to be noted.  Also the peak is a spur off the trail and can easily be missed.  At 8680 ft.there is a faint trail to the right that goes up while the main trail goes left and stays flat.  Go up! There is a pile of downed tree parts that will make you pause, just pay attention and know to stay to the right of the downed trees and go straight up.\nBeautiful views await at the top.\n12 Miles with Elevation gain of 4000 ft.\nIF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HIKING WITH THIS LEADER, PLEASE CALL.

Ice House Canyon junction ends at the crossroads of many choices (from 1 mile to 6 miles) but for a half day hike this is a great place to finish and turn around.\n7.2 miles with elevation gain of 2700 ft.\nIF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HIKING WITH THIS LEADER, PLEASE CALL.
