ART SMITH TO SECOND OASIS
Great hike with great views. An iconic trail in the Coachella Valley.
The trail is very exposed, so be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection.
Meet at the parking area on the right (west) side of Highway 74, where the highway curves to the left, just past the Bighorn Community. If you reach the actual Art Smith parking lot, you have gone too far.
6.3 miles with elevation gain of 1400 feet
Please call or text Carole to request participation in this hike.
