Riding up the sand wash. We could ride about half of it; the rest was too soft so we pushed. It wasn't very steep but it went for a long way
|
|
 |
At the "Desert Oasis," an old-fashioned SUV is abandoned
|
|
 |
The Desert Oasis is the start of the Art Smith Trail, which we didn't take...
|
|
 |
...It's also the start of the Hahn Trail, which we did take
|
|
 |
From the apex of the Hahn Trail, you can see Palm Springs below
|
|
 |
It was very very very windy here, and cold!
|
|
 |
Michelle approaches the apex
|
|
 |
PK tries the superman pose to see if the wind will pick him up
|
|
 |
It's much warmer down here where the wind isn't so strong
|
|
 |
PK and Michelle start down the Hahn Trail from the apex
|
|
 |
The Hahn Trail runs just below the ridgeline, where there wasn't much protection from the wind...
|
|
 |
...and then it switchbacks down the hill, where it was still windy
|
|
 |
The Hahn Trail dumps us onto Dunn Road which ends just above Palm Springs
|
|
|
|
 |
After the Dunn Rd ends, we take the "goat trails" down. They were aptly named!
|
|
 |
At the bottom, they post a sign to keep out people who come down on the goat trails. In this case, it was a fruitless effort.
|
|
 |
The end of the ride, after escaping (see fence behind us) from the industrial yard between the "gun range" and the street
|
|
 |
Chow time!
