Hiking to the Bear Creek Oasis

I headed off towards the Bear Creek Oasis from the Cove Trailhead in La Quinta, CA in February. Winter and spring are the best times to visit here. There is a large parking area, and is a popular place to hike. There are plenty of signs, picnic tables, and a restroom here at the trailhead.

Bombay Beach and the Salton Sea

Dana Point Hills A 6 Mile Hike and Trail Run

The winter rains have begun, and new growth has just begun to emerge. The area is cool and misty during this time of year, which makes for perfect trail running weather. I love my country and I love getting outside. So what better than a hike and a trail run from Camino De Los Ramblas onto the flagpole on Patriot Trail.
