LA QUINTA COVE HIKE AND PICNIC: MODERATE HIKE, CASUAL PACE

Join us for a hike and picnic event at the La Quinta Cove. Three hikes will be offered: one strenuous and two moderates.  THIS IS A MODERATE HIKE AND THE EASIEST OF THE THREE — Boo Hoff & Bear Creek Loop  

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.

MODERATE HIKE, CASUAL PACE: Boo Hoff & Bear Creek Loop

These two trails take us into the Santa Rosa foothills south of La Quinta Cove. The first 1-1/2 miles are quite easy with a gentle incline on a sand/gravel surface. At that point, the trail gets steep and narrow for 1/2 mile up to a vista point. The remaining 2 miles are very pleasant, winding down the Bear Creek wash among rock formations and desert plants of the Bear Creek wash. Overall, this hike offers a little of everything.

Note: we’ll be in full sun the entire hike so sunscreen, H2O, etc.

We’ll meet up at La Quinta Cove Oasis Trailhead at the west end of Calle Tecate. Park on the street by 54990 Avenida Juarez or in the parking lot.
