joshua tree national park, day hikes - February 12, 2027

Need a break from the cold and inversion smog in Utah in February? Join us in Joshua Tree National Park to hike for a few days. The plan is to get a motel in 29 Palms, but you can also camp in the Park. We will put together a more detailed itinerary before the trip but have some firm goals. We plan to hike Quail Mountain (5814 ft, 12 miles, 1500 ft elevation gain), the high point in the Park. We also plan to hike Rattlesnake Canyon slot canyon and a few other peaks and scenic trails. Limit 8 - Email registration is required. More details and logistics will be emailed to participants.
