I hope you enjoy this guide to hiking the Art Smith Trail in Palm Desert, California. 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.
Castle Rock trail is a beautiful scenic trail, amongst Ponderosa pines on the southern side of Big Bear Lake, within the San Bernardino National Forest. It is the most popular trail in the Big Bear area. I would get to experience awe inspiring views of the lake and mountains here in wintertime, on a 2.7 mile hike in the snow.
