March Member Hike- Mountain Palm Springs
Join us for a hike to Mountain Palm Springs Trail, where we will hike to a palm oasis. The moderate 3-mile round trip hike will lead us through a beautiful landscape of desert flora and unique rock formations. The highlight is the Mountain Palm Springs, an oasis with California fan palms, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding rugged terrain. We will take a break in the shade of these palms to enjoy this retreat in the midst of the desert. The trail hosts panoramic views of the mountains and desert expanse, making this hike a memorable exploration of the diverse Park.
This hike will be led by Board Member, Stephanie
DiPalma. A little bit about Stephanie:
“After a long career in information technology in various management roles, I retired. My husband, Tom and I have traveled extensively in the last ten years and spent each winter “season” in Borrego Springs. We have ridden our bikes across the USA and in Europe. We enjoy cycling, hiking, going to new places, entertaining friends, and spending time with family. Anza Borrego Desert State Park is my happy place and I love giving back to the Park.
