This is my third winter in Palm Springs. I like to make friends exploring the great outdoors-the more remote the better. In my career as an Oil and Gas Exploration geologist, I have led many excursions to remote geologic sites. My passion is environmental education, including my specialty-geology. It’s a curse; I cannot look at beautiful scenery without wondering how it got there.
Location
LA QUINTA COVE
We will explore the mouths of Coyote and Bear Creek Canyons, with their great scenery and cool rock formations and spend some time talking about the hard-rock geology of the Coachella Valley.
There will be some boulder scrambling. Please bring gloves.
Park on the Cove Oasis Trailhead lot, located at the corner of Calle Tecate and Avenida Juarez (75000 Calle Tecate) La Quinta.
6 Miles, about 400 feet of elevation gain. Hike limited to 14 participants.
If you have questions or would like to sign up for the hike, please email Ken.
