Desert and Mountain Hiking in the Palm Springs Area

HIKING TRAIL ETIQUETTE

  1. Uphill Hikers have right of way (unless catching their breath).
  2. For safety reasons, hikers should step aside for bikers, runners and horses.
  3. Shortcuts cause trail erosion. Stay on main trail.
  4. Leave no trace (wrappers and tissue on the trail a big NO!)
  5. As a courtesy to hikers coming from behind, step aside.
  6. Take dogs only on trails marked for them. Restrain them when passing other hikers. Clean up after them!
