Absolutely stunning hike in the Palm Springs area! The parking lot opens at 5:30 am, so you can catch the sunrise and get your workout in before it heats up. The views are absolutely stunning and the trails are very well maintained. Dogs are welcome up to a certain point; due to protection for Bighorn Sheep, they are prohibited on the longer trails into the mountains. This is a wonderful spot because you can hike as far as you like (one trail is 8 miles round trip), or as little as you like. The picnic area is shaded and clean. The scenery is spectacular and post-card worthy. Don't forget sunscreen, water, and a hat. Admission and parking are free. Highly recommended! read more
