Brian and Debbie are from Western Canada where they live close to the Rocky Mountains. They have been hiking in the Coachella Valley for 10 years and members of the CVHC for 3 years. They really like to hike but also enjoy golfing and pickleball. They love the desert and enjoy learning about the area through hikes of all levels.
Location
WHITEWATER CANYON VIEW LOOP
Our trail crosses the Whitewater River bed and passes through a lush riparian habitat. It then ascends to a heather-covered plateau with excellent views of the canyon and San Gorgonio mountain. Bighorn sheep can often be seen on the hilltops. After the hike, you may wish to visit the displays in the ranger station or have a picnic lunch by the pond.
Anyone who is in good physical condition and can walk for 2 hours will enjoy this hike. Meet in the Whitewater Preserve ranger station’s parking lot at 9160 Whitewater Canyon Road which is off Highway 10, just past the exit for Highway 62. Washrooms are available at the trailhead.
3.7 miles, 659 feet elevation gain
