Hike: Truckhaven Rocks to Coachwhip (Moderate to Fairly Strenuous) – FULL (waitlist)
Leader: Bruce Kelley, ABDNHA Volunteer
HIKE IS FULL – PLEASE CALL ABDNHA at 760-767-3098 to get on waitlist.
This walk will explore ancient rocks that were split from the Santa Rosa Mountains and uplifted due to tectonic action, located just northwest of S22, near the Salton Sea. This is a moderate three-mile hike mostly in Truckhaven Wash, circling behind the main rocks visible from the highway. We will leave that wash and cross a ridge to emerge in Coachwhip Canyon. The last part up and the first part down the ridge are steep. Bring water, hat, sunscreen, hiking shoes and you may want a stick (I’ll have several extras). Bring your AWD or 4WD vehicle if possible. We are going to do a shuttle hike. Meet in the parking lot of ABDNHA by 7:50 am.
