LA QUINTA COVE HIKE AND PICNIC: STRENUOUS HIKE

Join us for a hike and picnic event at the La Quinta Cove. Three hikes will be offered: one each of strenuous, moderate, and easy levels. THIS IS THE STRENUOUS HIKE — Boo Hoff Out and Back

After the hike, stay for the bring-your-own-lunch picnic at the Cove Oasis Picnic area. Hike start times are staggered so all three hikes will finish about 11:00 – 11:30 AM. A flush toilet is available at the Cove to Lake trailhead, in the larger parking lot at the east end of the Calle Tecate. 

**************************

STRENUOUS HIKE: BOO HOFF OUT AND BACK

This hike starts at the top of La Quinta Cove and offers a great climb up followed by the relief of going down!

The second half of the trail is steep with full sun exposure. Hikers should bring at least 1-1/2 liters of water.

7.35 miles with elevation gain of 1500 ft, at a sustained pace to complete the hike in 3.5 – 4.0 hours round trip. Meet at the La Quinta Cove Oasis trailhead, at the west end of Calle Tecate.

 PLEASE EMAIL MARGARET TO JOIN THIS HIKE AND INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
