I am a Kansas City native and moved here in 2011. I joined the hiking club and fell in love with our mountains. The CVHC has made such a difference in my life. Leading hikes allows me to meet so many people and share the joy of a day spent outdoors. Between the San Jacinto, Joshua Tree, our valley, Idyllwild, and Mecca there is a lot to discover in the Palm Springs area. If not on the trail, I am most likely cooking or playing canasta or mahjong.
Location
SPITLER PEAK VIA APPLE CANYON ROAD (HURKEY CREEK)
Turn on Apple Canyon Rd off highway 74. Parking lot on the right before the Zen center, about 2.5 miles in. Gentle start for the first few miles then switchbacks begin to challenge hikers as they bring you to the PCT. In rainy seasons, waterfalls will be seen along the way. Head right off of the PCT where a carin will mark where to top out to Spitler Peak. In springtime through hikers will be around.
11 Miles with elevation gain of 2600 ft.
