Joshua Tree National Park, Death Valley, palm oases, sand dunes... Around Palm Springs, the vastness and diversity of the landscape are a constant call to put on your hiking boots. The trails are endless and the mountain ridges that rise up between the deserts of California invite you to run to the top. After having hiked some of them, here are some trails that we have referenced to reconcile hiking and scenic beauty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Mosaic Canyon Trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About 450 km northwest of Los Angeles, Death Valley is the largest national park in the United States after Alaska with an area of 13,650 km\u00b2. It is larger than the region of Ile-de-France. The rock formations mark out the immensity of this park that we contemplate via the 1 609 kilometers of paved roads and 4\u00d74 trails that cross it. Protected from bad weather by the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Death Valley extends entirely over the Mojave Desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located almost two hours' drive from the town of Ridgecrest, the Mosaic Canyon Trail is a 6.4-mile round-trip hike if you do it all the way. A road provides access to the beginning of the canyon and allows you to park your vehicle before beginning the hike. At a time when rain was still falling heavily in this part of California, a canyon was formed and you enjoy walking through its geological curves formed millions of years ago. The striations and stripes of the rock offer multiple colors (hence the name Mosaic Canyon). If it is possible to make the hike by staying on the relatively flat part of the bottom of the canyon, singles appear on the sides as soon as one starts to climb a little. What to give another perspective of the place and to decorate the walk of a little bit of unevenness.<\/p>\n\n\n
