I decided to hike on down Whiting Spur on a foggy May morning into Whiting Ranch. This is not a place I hike solo due to high mountain lion activity. It is a beautiful and scenic natural area nonetheless. I saw so many unique varieties of wildflowers along the way.

Painted and Ladder Canyon
Ladder and Painted Canyons are one of the most interesting desert hikes through the backcountry in the Mecca Wilderness in the Coachella Valley. Light paints the desert canyon walls along this hike in many shades of red, purple, green, and gold, depending on the time of day. The tall sheer walls of painted canyon will make you feel so small, in comparison.
