- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 17 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 am – Mon, 17 Nov, 2025 at 01:30 pm
- **Event Description**: During 2021, this area was ravaged by a wildfire. Friends’ volunteer docents will discuss fire ecology and how flora and fauna are reclaiming this area. The forested area was important to the Cahuilla people who lived off the land and more recently played a role in the mining history of the National Monument’s land. This unique hiking opportunity offers a 5-mile out and back hike to Horsethief Creek. This moderate to strenuous hike follows an ancient Cahuilla path from the mountains to the desert floor. The return trip from the creek is all uphill and involves an elevation gain of 1230 feet. Participants must be comfortable with the physical demands required for this hike. Sorry no dogs are allowed for this event.

Bring a minimum of 2 liters of water, a sun hat, sunscreen and wear close-toed hiking boots. Hiking poles are suggested.
