Maidenhair Falls Hike

Date: March 18 at 9:00 AM

From Robert Audibert

This 5.5-6 miles hike is moderately difficult with a gain or loss of about 900 feet of elevation.  At the trailhead we will travel past Sycamores, cottonwoods and Palms to Maidenhair Falls; it is a true oasis in the desert. We should have a great hike and the opportunity to observe the desert wild flowers.  We will have climb over or around some large boulders and thorny cacti.

What to bring along and wear?

Bring long 3 liters of water, your lunch and snacks.  I suggest wearing comfortable hiking shoes with soles that don't slip; it is better if it is also waterproof.    I suggest wearing layered outfit, hat, and long pants. Protect your skin by using sunscreen, sunburn is not fun.  

Direction:

Form Temecula, drive south on 79 (Temecula Pkwy) to Warner Springs.  Then turn left onto San Filipe Rd/S2.  Continue driving about 4 or 5 miles then turn left on S22 (Montezuma Valley Rd.) heading to Borrego Springs.  Continue on S22 for about 17 miles.  The trail head is on the left 0.7 miles from the stop sign at Palm Canyon Rd.  If you missed the trail head turn around at the stop sign.  The trail head is on the right 0.7 miles up the hill.
