I am a Kansas City native and moved here in 2011. I joined the hiking club and fell in love with our mountains. The CVHC has made such a difference in my life. Leading hikes allows me to meet so many people and share the joy of a day spent outdoors. Between the San Jacinto, Joshua Tree, our valley, Idyllwild, and Mecca there is a lot to discover in the Palm Springs area. If not on the trail, I am most likely cooking or playing canasta or mahjong.
BLACK MOUNTAIN
The trail begins just off of Hwy. 243, a mere 45 minutes from Palm Springs. It offers a steady and breathtaking climb through manzanita and pine trees. Top out at the Black Mountain Lookout Fire Tower.
8 Miles with Elevation gain of 2600 ft.
