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.

The Coachella Valley Preserve

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.
