Allow
me to share my favorite trails and natural settings with
you and with
your family. My photos below depict Mecca Hills, Whitewater Canyon,
Orocopia Mountains, Santa Rosa/San Jacinto Mountains (click images to enlarge):
I
can tailor-make your hiking experience to fit your needs
and tastes.
Perhaps a long-distance hike with scenic desert/mountain vistas, an
exploration of the areas only "cave
system", a quiet meander through
colorful canyons, a stroll along a forested
trail with vistas of a  lake
and high country mountains. Share
with me what you like and I'll do my
best to take you there!
"Let
me guide you to perhaps Southern California's
largest and most exotic "Slot Canyon
...inside the San Andreas Fault!"
 Group
Hikes
Does your office,
club, business, church etc. need to get away, recreate and re-discover
their love of nature? Perhaps your group wants to take up a
healthy
lifestyle addition, learn about local history, geology, flora and
fauna, or just have a fun day together in nature, team building.

The
Orocopia Mountain Wilderness found 50 miles east of Palm
Desert. A
magical playground of uplifted red and multi-colored canyons,
stratified mesas and plateaus suggesting the red-rock area of Moab and
south-central Utah. You really get-away-from-it-all out there in this
rock lover's paradise.
I
can also treat you to the closer Mecca
Hills, Box Canyon and Painted Canyon area, where
geologists from all
over California journey to explore and examine the colorful uplifted,
contorted hills and rock formations impacted by the San Andreas Fault.
The mysterious slot canyon known as Ladder Canyon leads you into the
acclaimed exotic beauty of Painted Canyon...but I know other places,
too, seldom visited that will excite your sense of adventure while
offering you the best in desert beauty.
Joshua
Tree National
Park, just north and east of Palm Springs gives you many
hiking trails
to explore and discover the unique rock formations of one of our
nation's newest National Park.
The
Palm Springs Indian Canyons
offers you miles of hiking trail, both in the palm tree-filled main
canyons and on the wide-vista trails above the canyons that lead into
the wilderness and awesome mountain heights above!
The
San
Jacinto/Santa Rosa Mountains/National Monument. Tired of
the desert
heat, sand and traffic? I'll share with you the cool mountain trails
above the Coachella Valley, including the nationally known Pacific
Crest Trail. You can visit ridge trails that offer grand vistas of the
Coachella Valley, hike through quiet pine forests, or scale the
mountains above the resort town of Idyllwild. The four seasons at your
fingertips!
A
full moon hike in exotic desert/canyon settings...like
walking through an Ansel Adams gallery!
The
area offers several nature preserves where wildlife is
protected and
can often be seen, especially bird life. Great for small children.
