Never ending Canyon Hike
(2-05)
Out to the Mecca Hills again and the Box Canyon area with the Seniors..
a perfect combination of fun and scenic beauty.
An easy hike...about 4 miles and only 500 feet elevation gain.

The narrow slot canyon is like a maze....
....making you wonder what is still ahead.
Some colorful canyon walls...
...as we ascend to the ridge
...for some rewarding views.
Our group...up on top.
And, now the steep climb down...oh...it was slippery!
Once all were down, Allan treated us to another Robert Service poem, "Bessie's Boil."
It's becoming an expected event for the hikes now.
Another great hike!
Tahquitz Canyon Hike
(2-14)
Spent Valentine's Day hiking with my girls, Carolyn & Karen, and Allan, too.
A guided hike from the visitor center...only 2.5 miles.
Tahquitz Canyon is one of the most beautiful of the famous Indian Canyons.
Half way through...end up at the water fall...
...where we get to rest in the shade before heading back down.
What views of the Coachella Valley from here.
Borrego Palm Canyon Hike
(2-19)
With the Seniors again to Anza Borrego State Park for
an easy 3 miler up to the Palm Oasis.
That's where we're headed...the palm oasis in the background.
Our group...
After lunch in the park...
it was off to see the metal sculptures.
Just a mere 189 of them scattered throughout the desert.
Watch out, Allan...get out of those claws.
My favorite...the sea serpent.
Another great hike in the desert!
