ARABY TRAIL WITH EXTENDED LOOP

Name: ARABY TRAIL WITH EXTENDED LOOP
Start: 2024-11-22T00:00:00-08:00
End: 2024-11-22T03:00:00-08:00
Location: Araby Trailhead

This moderate hike offers great views of the valley.

The Araby Trail could be dubbed the “trail to the stars,” as it climbs above the Bob Hope Estate and home of the late Steve McQueen. The view of these magnificent homes is readily available on this trail, along with that of Palm Springs. The Araby Trail is another great short but sweet “exercise” trail, allowing you to make the up-and-back trip in under 6 miles.

Most of the gain is in the first hour as we go up Araby past the former Bob Hope house. We’ll travel up the goat trails over to the base of Wild Horse trail then loop back and down the Araby.

We will meet up at the Araby Trailhead on Hwy 111 at 8:00 AM.

5.6 miles with elevation gain of 1,200 feet.
