Since I now live in Indio's Coachella Valley....I am closest to Joshua Tree's Berdoo Canyon and other trails south of here....Today I went for a late morning trail run to Joshua Tree's Pinkham Canyon Road. Easy trail ride, but very nice landscapes and enjoyed a great sunny day with light winds to keep cool. Here is the link to pics poser shots included.... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v228/bohemianjsr/Off Road Trips/Joshua Tree Pinkham Canyon Rd/ Round Trip to and from home took about 4 hours. The Canyon rd. may be around 30 miles or so...didn't really keep track of miles once I entered the trail....from Dillon's Road I-10 entrance to the JT South Park entrance was around 27 miles..but you can enter the canyon earlier than that at the temporarily closed rest stop in Cactus City.... I gotta hook up with the Socal 80s crew and join up on some trail runs in the near future. I could use learning about off roading with an experienced crew. Currently waiting on my sliders....but I need a few more things to group runs I think: CB Radio, and some recovery gear.
