Details

Please DM me if you're interested.

Start Time: 6:00 am
Meet location: Skyline Trailhead next to Palm Springs Art Museum
Distance/Elevation: 20 miles, 11,000 ft gain
Estimated Duration: approximately 12 hours

This hike is considered advanced (expect casual screening). Pace will be moderately fast. I prefer to run on some of the downhills/flats depending on feel. We will wait for our partner(s) at crucial junctions. Bring appropriate clothing, gear, essentials, etc. This hike will be a collaboration/partnership with no leader - as such start time/logistics will need further discussion.

After the tram, we will ascend via Sid Davis route and come down the main trail most likely in the dark (bring headlamp).
