EISENHOWER LOOP AT THE LIVING DESERT
Located in the Living Desert, this hike is very scenic. It can be a little rugged with some wash walking and boulder hopping but then the trail becomes easy to navigate and is a little jewel right in the middle of the valley. See Bighorn sheep on the rocky slopes before starting on the trail. Fabulous views of the whole valley.
Must pay to enter Living Desert or be a member. We will meet at the front entrance to the Zoo. Please arrange for admission to the Zoo before our start time. Take a walking tour of the Zoo after the hike!
5 Miles with Elevation gain of 700 ft. This hike takes ~2 hours. Map is available here: https://caltopo.com/m/MD5N8
