Hidden Palms Trail Hike

During the springtime this wash area usually has abundant wildflowers. You leave the wash and climb the mud hill. At the top it opens to a spectacular view of Salton Sea. The trail is flat until you reach the ravine and hike down into the oasis. Along the way you will find many blooming shrubs. You will enter the oasis to enjoy the many California fan palms and wildlife habitat. You will exit Hidden Palm oasis and follow the sandy wash towards Horseshoe oasis.

The trail leads up a steep incline and loops back to the trail. The distance is 3.0 miles with an elevation gain of 400-feet. Sorry, no dogs are allowed on this trail. Bring 2 liters of water, snacks, wear closed-toed shoes, sun hat and sunscreen.

RSVP is required. Registration begins 2 weeks prior to the event at: https://www.desertmountains.org/event/hidden_palms-trail-hike/
