CHAPARROSA SPRING HIKE
A well maintained trail out of Pioneertown through stacked jumbled boulders, big vistas and diversity of plants, birds and animals. Have fun locating “cowboy pancakes” and “cobra” rocks. An amazing array of boulders hidden from Pioneertown and roads. A large Native American grinding stone sits among scrub oaks, close to our trail.
It’s a moderately challenging route with slippery sections. Poles helpful.
6 miles, with 900 feet elevation gain.
Limited to 12 hikers.
