Big Morongo Canyon


We will hike from the Preserve parking lot down the canyon to Indian Canyon Rd near Desert Hot Springs. The hike is 5.5 miles, with an elevation drop of 1000'. After, drivers will be taken back to the Preserve parking lot, and then they will drive down to pick up their passengers. This wait will be 20-30 minutes.

This hike is rated moderate. 

There are parts of the canyon wash which were damaged and moved about during tropical storm Hillary. Be prepared for rough terrain, rocks, but mostly sandy wash.
