Hiking Guide to Palm Desert
Hiking in Palm Desert: There are plenty of hikes to choose from in the area here for each skill level with every type of terrain. Explore the undulating wavelike rock formations of the Indio Badlands. You might possibly spot a herd of Bighorn Sheep in Carrizo Canyon. Take a bit of a longer hike in the hills above Palm Desert viewing far peaks along Art Smith trail. The desert is a beautiful place to explore.

The Art Smith Trail is about 16 miles long, and takes you into the Santa Rosa Mountains Wilderness, high above Palm Desert. It's rated as moderate, and is a class 1 hiking trail. The trail is a relatively narrow single track popular with hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians.
Diemer Trail in Chino Hills
It was a sunny fall day when I arrived at Chino Hills, to hike Diemer Trail. I will go over the trailhead, parking, and the history of Chino Hills State Park, so you can better plan your visit.
Ontario and Bighorn Peaks
Follow along on my hike to Ontario Peak. You begin the hike at Icehouse Canyon trailhead, just off Mt Baldy Road. This trailhead is the gateway for several other hikes: The Three T’s Hike, Cucamonga Peak, and Icehouse Saddle. There is a small parking lot which begins to fill up by 6am. Hope this Hiking Guide helps you plan your visit to Icehouse Canyon and Ontario Peak.
