During the springtime this wash area usually has abundant wildflowers. You leave the wash and climb the mud hill to Bee Rock Mesa. From Bee Rock Mesa you have a spectacular view of Salton Sea.
The trail is flat until you reach the ravine and hike down into the oasis. Along the way you will find many blooming shrubs. You will enter the oasis to enjoy the many California fan palms and wildlife habitat. You will exit Hidden Palm oasis and follow the sandy wash towards Horseshoe oasis. The trail leads up a steep incline and loops back to the trail.
Sorry, no dogs are allowed on this trail. The distance is 3 miles with an elevation gain of 400-feet. Bring 2 liters of water, snacks, wear closed-toed shoes, sun hat and sunscreen.
RSVP is required. Check-in 15 minutes prior to start time. Ticket reservations begin 14 days prior to the event. A suggested nonrefundable donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs.
