I spend my time between Springfield MO and La Quinta CA. My first year here was in 1993 but my first full season was in 2006. I’ve been hiking ever since. I’ve only been a member of CVHC for a few years but I am so happy I joined. I spent the formative years hiking all across the area with like minded friends who showed me the way. I am forever indebted. I love adventures of any kind and often joke about all of my “new best friends“ I make along the way. My husband and I enjoy boating and we sure have some stories to tell.

SNOW CREEK

The trailhead begins after hiking about a mile up the access road — a steep warm-up for the trail ahead. The views are fantastic and get better as you ascend the trail on long, easy-going switchbacks. This trail provides some, if not the best, views of the pass and desert below, all under the towering mountain right in front of you.

Park on Snow Creek Road north of the village; there is no street parking at the Snow Creek trailhead. See a GOOGLE map here

9 miles 2000 feet of gain.  This is a strenuous hike.
