THIS HIKE WAS CHANGED FROM MOON COUNTRY TO HIDDEN PALMS BECAUSE MOON COUNTRY IS CLOSED ON TUESDAYS.
WE ARE NOW MEETING AT THE PUSHWALLA TRAILHEAD:
HERE’S THE MAP.
We will begin our trek at Coachella Valley Preserve hiking through the oasis along the San Andreas Fault to McCallum Pond. We will do a stopover at the pond before heading up the trail to Moon Country. The area is rich in geology and history. Along the way you may find one of several endangered species. During springtime a wide variety of wildflowers can usually be seen. This 5.0-mile hike is rated easy with an elevation gain of 250 feet. Bring your camera, wildflower books, picnic lunch, 2 liters of water per person. Wear closed toed hiking boots, sun hat and sunscreen.
RSVP is required and you must bring your ticket with you for check-in at 8:15 AM. Space is limited. Ticket reservations begin 14 days prior to the event. A suggested tax-deductible donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs.
