Murray Canyon Trail
12-17-15
ISC Christmas Party Hike
 
Murray Canyon Trail takes you deep into the lower reaches of the San Jacinto Mountains via
a palm enclosed canyon stream fond on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation in
south Palm Springs.
A moderate hike (5 miles RT) with about a 500 foot elevation gain.
 
The California fan palm is abundant in Murray.
 

 Hiking out.

 Wow...rock climbing for Allan?
