Be prepared to CLIMB! The trail start with a steep climb with gnarly <br />
switchbacks. After finally leveling off a bit you have some nice sweeping <br />
ribbons of singletrack through the scenic mountain side, then back to more <br />
climbing. Some sections are quite steep and technical with rocks and tight <br />
switchbacks. Coming back is really fun as it's almost all downhill. Some <br />
sections you can just let it go but mostly you'll be riding the brakes through <br />
the steep downhill and tight switchbacks. You'll definitely enjoy some <br />
incredible mountain views and most likely come across some hikers.
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).
