Hiking Herman's Trail - Thousand Palms, CA

Click on the following for: High Defintion

We started our trek around 6:20 this morning at the Coachella Valley Preserve to hike Herman's Trail. The trailhead started near Willis Palms Oasis in Thousand Palms.

I was so surprised to see how much the palm trees are recovering after being scorched in a fire that happend on November 26, 2010.

We've hiked here many times before and really enjoyed this trail. It took us 3 hours and 20 minutes to complete a 7.5 mile hike.
