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
HIDDEN SPRINGS OASIS
This is a fun out and back hike in the Mecca Hills. The hike offers stunning views of the Salton Sea and the Eastern Santa Rosa Mountains. We’ll hike to a viewpoint, along a ridge and then drop down into a canyon. From there we walk in a sandy wash for to reach a dramatic explosion of colorful rocks and then do some easy rock scrambling to get to the hidden oasis.
The hike is very exposed to sun and wind and best done on cooler/calm days.
If you haven’t hiked with Debbie before or have any questions about the hike, please call. Otherwise, please email and include your phone number.
