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.

Out in the desert near Indio and Palm Desert is an interesting place to explore called the Coachella Valley Preserve. Within it are miles of trails to explore, including the 4 mile Pushwalla Palms Loop.
