The hike route is cross-country and through lightly trodden washes around Font’s Wash and Inspiration Wash. There are a couple of short scrambles. Bring water\, snacks\, and lunch. Meet at 8:00 am at the entrance to Inspiration Wash (S22 mile 28.4\, 9.2 miles east of Christmas Circle) from where we will carpool in 4WD/AWD vehicles a short distance to the start of the hike. Max: 22. No charge; call or stop by the Nature Center to reserve\, 760-767-3098.
