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
- 1 Tramway Palm Springs, CA 92262
WILLOW CREEK TO SADDLE JUNCTION AND BACK UP VIA WELLMANS
Take the Palm Springs Tramway and follow the signs to the Willow Creek Trail. Willow Creek Tail connects to the Round Valley Loop Tail so the actual beginning is at The Round Valley Loop. Once you see the sign for Willow Creek continue toward Saddle Junction. You will pass Hidden Lake and Laws Junction. Saddle Junction fans out in many directions. Take the trail toward San Jacinto and look for signage for Wellman’s.
