Art Smith Trail features 9 miles of hiking trails near Palm Desert, CA.
From Palm Desert, jump on 74 where it meets 111 and head South till you get <br /><br />to the very base of the mountain. Just before the road starts to climb, on your <br /><br />right hand side is the trailhead. You'll most likely see cars parked right off the <br /><br />road. There's practically no signage so climb the little ridge near the road and <br /><br />you see where to go from there (see album).
