Rosemarie splits her time between Palm Desert in the winter and Anchorage in the summer with some hiking trips abroad for good measure! She enjoys hiking in the Coachella Valley almost as much as she does hiking in Alaska, and has led and/or been on some amazing hikes this past summer . Rosemarie is almost retired; when she is not hiking she enjoys tennis, traveling, and fiber arts.

Fern Canyon-Vandeventer-Palm Canyon Loop
For this hike, we will meet at the Indian Canyons Trading Post at 8:15 am. We’ll hike in a clockwise direction on Fern Canyon Tr, then Vandeventer, then back on the Palm Canyon Tr. If moisture conditions are right, there are ferns to see in the canyon, and we’ll be hiking back in the lush Palm Canyon, the largest oasis of California fan palms in North America. The loop is about 6.3 miles, with about 1000 ft of elevation gain.
Please arrive at Indian Canyons when the gates open at 8am then proceed to the Trading Post. Admission fee is $7.00 per adults over 62 and $12.00 otherwise. Please bring at least 2L of water, snacks, and prepare for sun exposure.
