# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Red Hill Vista Trail
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 am – Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for this STRENUOUS hike to Red Hill Vista in the Chuckwalla National Monument. The hike is a 4-mile loop with an elevation gain of 550 feet. Please read the full description below since once we reach the strenuous section of the hike it will be difficult to turn around.

Hiking boots or shoes are mandatory since sneakers or similar footwear will not provide sufficient traction on the trail. The hike begins with a 1-mile walk through a sand wash before climbing up a moderately steep canyon hillside that involves scrambling over moderate size rocks. Comfort hiking on uneven surface is essential. After the scramble we will reach a plateau 100 feet above the canyon floor with incredible views of the surrounding Mecca Hills and the Salton Sea. We will hike 1/2 mile on the plateau where several sections of the trail narrow to less than 2-3 feet wide with steep drop off to the canyon floor on both sides of the trail. We leave the plateau and hike down through another rocky section before returning to a sandy wash that leads back to the trailhead.

Sorry no dogs are allowed for this event. Bring 3 liters of water (102 ounces) and snacks. Wear closed-toed shoes, a sun hat, and sunscreen. Hiking poles are optional.

RSVP is required. Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to start time. Reservations begin 2 weeks prior to event at: https://www.desertmountains.org/event/red-hill-vista/
