    NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY 

    Since 1994, volunteers have come together on the fourth Saturday of every September to participate in stewardship projects to celebrate National Public Lands Day (NPLD), a day dedicated to service and supporting our cherished public lands. In the last decade, over one million volunteers have supported NPLD projects nationwide. You can be a part of this widespread volunteer movement. 

    On Saturday September 27, Positional Projects is partnering with Desert Cleanse Project, High Desert Keepers, Landers Homestead Valley Association, and others to clean up the remarkable Giant Rock freestanding boulder in Landers, CA. Activities will include trash clean-up and graffiti removal, and lunch will be provided.

    Positional Projects is also hosting optional camping the night before (September 26).

    Volunteer at Giant Rock!

    Bags, gloves and lunch will be provided. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, and bring water, snacks, and sun protection. 4x4 vehicles are strongly recommended to access the cleanup site.

    Volunteers gather at Giant Rock at 9 AM — about an hour and 15 minute drive from Palm Springs.

    Full information about the event is available at the Positional Projects registration link below. Be sure to register on this GOPS site, also, so we know if you'd like to arrange your own carpool with others who share their contact information.

    NOTE TO VOLUNTEERS: You must register at the following link to attend: click here to register with Positional Projects

    Meeting Location: Arrange your own carpool meeting location and time, or drive directly to the cleanup location.

  • PS - Bike: PS City Boundaries - an Unofficial Loop

    • Palm Springs, CA
    Register

    PALM SPRINGS WANDERINGS--AN UNOFFICIAL LOOP

    This casual bike ride will be on designated bike paths, lanes, loops and routes around PS. This casual ride travels neighborhood streets throughout Palm Springs. There are a number of busy intersection crossings: N. Indian Canyon, N. Palm Canyon, S. Palm Canyon, Tahquitz and Sunrise - some at traffic lights!


    We will ride to the northern boundary of Palm Springs then ride along west boundaries in Vista Las Palmas before skirting the business district as well as meandering through the Historic Tennis Club - more western boundaries - and east through Warm Sands before heading north through Baristo and Movie Colony East as we return to our starting point to complete our loop. The total length of the ride will be approximately 12-15 miles.

    There are gradual inclines heading north and west, however there are two short ‘steepish’ hills in Vista Las Palmas, as well as the Rose Hill thrill ride payoff for your efforts.

    There will be a few ‘points of interest’ stops along the way.

    Bathrooms will be available at Victoria Park and the Downtown Park along Museum Way.

    What to Bring: water (2 to 3 liters recommended), lunch/ snacks, sun protection, and layered clothing. Carry emergency contact information. 

    You should consider yourself a confident street cyclist in order to enjoy this PS Loop bike ride.


    All riders are strongly encouraged to wear helmets. Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI. You may want to bring a tire pump, spare tube, bike tools, water, sunscreen and snacks.


    When checking your tire pressure, be sure to reset your seat height for maximum leg extension when riding.

    To be considered: Preparedness has been reinforced recently by a demonstration using a tube valve pin removal tool, tube sealant and a small cordless compressor, which became invaluable for roadside repair.

    Orange County/Long Beach Chapter

    presents:

    Morgan Trail Day Hike

    Tuesday, Sept. 29, 9:00 AM to 2 PM

    Please be advised that this event is postponed because of excessive heat until October 20th, 2026. Temperatures at the altitude of the Morgan Trail are predicted by the National Weather Service to range trom 79 to 88 degrees. Hopefully by October 20th the weather will be more conducive for hiking. If the new date does not work for you, please cancel your reservation.

    This hike is designed especially for senior and slower hikers. The hike is scheduled on a weekday.

    Trip Leader: Frederick Brown, [email protected]

    (Write up and picture taken from the United States National Forest Website.)

    Elevation: Change 720 feet

    Distance: 4.2 miles one way

    Hike Time: 4 hours

    Difficulty: moderate, only because of distance

    This beautiful 4.2 mile (one way) out and back trail takes hikers through the manzanita and oak lined wilderness of Morrell Canyon. Willows and sycamore trees hug the canyon bottom. Water flows freely during a wet season.

    Listed as moderate with an elevation change of 720 feet, hikers meander through oak groves before coming to an open meadow with an abundance of grass and wildflowers. We can turn back at the beautiful oak grove, depending on how people are doing; but at the mid-way point (4.2 miles), hikers are rewarded with terrific views over Lake Elsinore out to Mt. San Jacinto, Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. Baldy.

    Located in the heart of the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness, this trail provides the serene and secluded experience that hikers can only get from a natural, untouched forest setting.

    We leave from the Candy Store on Ortega Highway, 34950 Ortega Hwy at precisely 09:00. Click for a map. There is plenty of parking in the U.S Forest Service lot across the street from the Candy Store, which requires an adventure pass. Along the way, we travel through a beautiful Oak Grove. At our destination, we have a nice view of Lake Elsinor.

    We then hike to the true trailhead on S. Main Divide Road, 4.2 miles, and then retrace our steps. Rattlesnakes and ticks are possible. Bring 10 essentials, sunscreen, a snack, and at least 1 liter of water.

     The Ortega Highway is a potentially dangerous road; drive safely.

      Description: Hike and Yoga in Shangri-la
      Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness / Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

      Join us for an interesting mix of cross-country hiking and wilderness yoga/meditation in the pristine forest of the San Jacinto Wilderness. Starting from the Ranger Station, we’ll hike up the Low Trail for a bit and then start our cross-country ascent into the Shangri-la section of the park. After exploring some new areas of interest (and old favorites), we’ll settle into a secluded forested section for our yoga/meditation workshop in the shade. Refreshed and re-balanced, we’ll hike back to the Tram for the return ride down to our cars. Karen Salgado, one of the desert's leading yoga instructors, will join us on our hike and will lead us through our yoga and meditation session. A cash donation of $20 per participant to cover Karen’s costs and time would be appreciated.

      Space is limited. Please register to reserve a spot, sign the electronic waiver, and receive any last-minute updates.

      Focusing on gentle and restorative postures after our hike, beginner Yogis and Yoginis are welcome. The off-trail portion of the hike, however, requires participants have prior hiking experience at high altitude. We’ll be hiking on- and off-trail with our yoga mats, ground tarp, and other gear in our knapsacks.

      Historical Context

      Surrounded by cottonwoods and watered by three natural springs, the Gilman Ranch site has attracted people throughout history. The superb canyon location—with its exceptional food and water supply—offered a prime habitation site for the local Cahuilla Indians. Later, under Spanish rule, the site became part of the San Gorgonio Rancho, the farthest outlying cattle ranch of Mission San Gabriel.

      In 1868, entrepreneur Newton Noble lived in the adobe, converted it into a stage stop, and opened the first post office in the San Gorgonio Pass. Noble’s property sat right along the Bradshaw Trail, a heavily traveled freight and stage route connecting Los Angeles to Arizona during the 1860s and 1870s. This trail originated from a network of traditional indigenous pathways that miner and freight driver William D. Bradshaw learned directly from Cahuilla and Maricopa guides. The route later became a vital communication corridor for federal troops expanding control over Arizona and New Mexico.

      The ranch is also famously tied to the historic Willie Boy manhunt. Willie Boy, a Paiute Indian, wished to marry a young woman named Carlotta against her father’s wishes. While Carlotta's family was camped at Gilman Ranch working the seasonal fruit harvest, Willie Boy fatally shot her father and escaped with her, sparking one of the last great western manhunts.

      Health & Safety

      Please carry Emergency Contact Information (ICE). If you have any medical concerns or allergies that may affect your ability to safely complete the tour or the hike, please discuss them privately with the trip leader prior to departure.

    • PS - Hike: Lost Horse Loop Trail - Joshua Tree National Park

      • Mon, October 26, 2026
      • 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM
      • Joshua Tree National Park
      Register

      Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


      Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold. After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.” After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing. Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon. In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine. He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch. After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

      San Jacinto Wildlife Area

      The San Jacinto Wildlife Area is a roughly 20,000-acre preserve in western Riverside County, managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and established in 1982. It's known as a major birding spot — it's part of an Audubon Society-designated Important Bird Area of Global Concern, and over 300 bird species have been recorded there. The area includes about 900 acres of restored wetlands and is home to numerous waterfowl, wading birds, and jackrabbits. The ponds draw waterfowl and shorebirds against a backdrop of Mt. San Gorgonio and the San Bernardino Mountains, while the surrounding grasslands attract eagles and overwintering raptors, along with species like Loggerhead Shrikes, Western Meadowlarks, and wintering sparrows. Notably, the wildlife area includes a constructed freshwater marsh that filters reclaimed water, the first state wildlife area to use reclaimed water to enhance its wetlands. GOPS member Tom Carlson will guide us through the preserve, explaining the wildlife along the way.

      • Elevation Gain/Loss: 50'
      • Difficulty Rating: Easy, although you should have good balance as parts of the walkway are uneven. Hiking poles may be helpful.

      The canyon was named after Joe Toutain, who owned a ranch in the area until 1930 (when he sold it), and lived in Iron Canyon, a canyon on the north side of the Whitewater Canyon Road, between Bonnie Bell and the Whitewater Preserve Visitor Centre (the mouth of that canyon is visible from the road).

      Joe Toutain is remembered as a Constable who was a member of the posse that tracked Willie Boy. You can find good information about the Willie Boy story at the following link:

We follow the stream bed, traversing river rubble at the mouth of the canyon, passing through shaded cottonwood and sycamore glens, and walking across mats of wild grapevines to reach the waterfall. Includes multiple stream crossings (one-stride wide) and some travel in damp stream bed (water level very shallow). 

      • Distance: 2.5 mi

      The canyon was named after Joe Toutain, who owned a ranch in the area until 1930 (when he sold it), and lived in Iron Canyon, a canyon on the north side of the Whitewater Canyon Road, between Bonnie Bell and the Whitewater Preserve Visitor Centre (the mouth of that canyon is visible from the road).

      Joe Toutain is remembered as a Constable who was a member of the posse that tracked Willie Boy. You can find good information about the Willie Boy story at the following link:
