Join us for a hike to Lake Cahuilla from the La Quinta Cove Trailhead. A bit of a golf course view, a sculpture, a sliver of a view of the Salton Sea, and the Lake itself provide good contrast to the extensive desert scenery that makes up the majority of the hike. We will take a mid hike break of 30 minutes at the Lake. There may be a $6 admission charge at the Lake.
