Join us for this new winter 2024 hike in the Bear Creek Wash. This hike is rated as easy with a distance of 4 miles and an elevation gain of approximately 325 feet.
The trail winds through a sandy wash with uneven terrain. As the wash narrows there will be some rocks and small boulders to hike around and step over. Along the way, we’ll discuss the plants that populate the desert wash; how these plants have adapted to these extreme environmental conditions; how the Cahuilla people used these native plants to survive for thousands of years; and the geologic forces that formed these mountains and canyons.
