Palm Desert Road Trip 2013
In April 2013, Daniel and I drove from Boise, Idaho to Palm Desert, California. While on our vacation, we visited Joshua Tree National Park, the Indian Canyon hiking trail in Palm Springs, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, The Living Desert, and on our way back to Boise we checked out the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. If you can't tell from the video, we LOVE lizards & wildlife!

Thousand Palms - Coachella Valley Nature Preserve
This past week I attended a course to become an NAI Certified Interpretive Guide. Our last day was a docent guided hike in the Coachella Valley Nature Preserve. Once inhabited by the Cahuilla people, this 880 acre preserve has a 4.9 mile loop trail that leads through two Oasis' of California Desert Fan Palm [native species].

Valley hikers and bikers are engaging in a new effort to re-open one of the valley's most popular trails. The upper portion of the Bump and Grind was closed in June. Now, the new battleground in the fight to reopen the trail is Facebook.
Hiking Day 4: Carrizo Canyon, Palm Desert
Hiking Day 4: Carrizo Canyon Ecological Reserve, Palm Desert
When a trail is only available to hikers a few months a year, you need to include it on your hiking list. Due to bighorn lambing (breeding) season, this trail is only open October, November and December. Ironically, the trailhead is a just five- minute drive from the bustling El Paseo shopping district, but you would never know it once you enter the pristine wilderness. The hike begins through a wide sandy wash filled with smoke trees, creosote bushes and desert willows. Once you enter the mouth of the canyon, keep your eye out for the elusive bighorn sheep that blend with nature’s beauty. You have a really good chance of spotting one. Cholla and barrel cactus line the canyon walls; a lone California fan palm is the perfect spot for resting before moving on to explore the falls, which are mostly dry unless we’ve had a recent rainfall. You can scramble the side of the first falls and explore several others to a small palm oasis.
Quick facts: 3 miles; moderate hike; approximately 2 hours
Insider tips: No dogs allowed; closed January through September.

I had a lot of extra footage from my Palm Springs weekend, so I decided to make the Coachella Valley Preserve its own video! See the original video here:

Bump and Grind 4X4 Recovery
This vehicle's transmission locked up in four wheel drive while on the Bump and Grind trail. We had to remove both front and rear drive shafts in order for the vehicle to be able to move. The grade was steep enough that the vehicle was able to cost most of the way down.
