This is an awesome desert hike that begins in the La Quinta Cove and ends at the Sawmill Trailhead in Pinyon Flats. The distance one way is approximately 15.5 miles. There is approximate 5,000 plus feet elevation gain. This trail takes about 8 hours at a comfortable pace. The Guadalupe Trail is a cross- country route following an old Indian path through the heart of the Santa Rosa Mountains from the desert to the pines. This is a strenuous hike.

Bring at least 3 liters of water, food, pliers and a comb (for Chollas) and clothing for cooler and unpredictable weather, plus the regular hiking essentials.

We will be meeting at my house in La Quinta, which is 2 blocks from the trail-head.

The following is a very helpful link that shows a map of the trail and provides some information:
