This is one of the newest trails to open in the Coachella Valley. The first mile of the trail is in the Sand to Snow Monument. Beginning at mile two of the trail you will be in Joshua Tree National Park. We will explore the area and learn about the Metropolitan Water District and how water is transported to the Los Angeles area. As we enter the wilderness area, we will discuss how the low desert plants have adapted to the higher elevation.This trail is mostly level with gradual elevation gain. Hike rating is easy. We will hike approximately 2 miles and turn back. Sorry, no dogs allowed in Joshua Tree National Park. Bring 2 liters of water, snacks, wear closed-toed shoes, a sun hat and sunscreen.
RSVP is required. Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to start time.
