FULL!! CARRIZO CANYON AND DEAD INDIAN CANYON

This is a combination of 2 hikes totaling 5 miles with very minimal elevation gain. There is some minor rock scrambling that is optional. This is an interesting and diverse geological site in the Coachella Valley. It also has small palm groves and a dry waterfall. We will meet in the parking lot for the Art Smith trailhead, which is off highway 74 to the west of the Visitor’s Center. There is an ART SMITH TRAIL monument sign at the entrance to parking area.

These canyons are open to hiking only from Oct 1-Dec 31, so don’t miss your chance to see them!
