Just a great experience! Been to JTNP many times and wanted to get to know the Morongo Valley more. Donated money at the birdseed donation box because that was awesome! A gem of a place to hike at any ability level. Excellent maps and trail markings, and one trail is all boardwalk for complete accessibility! Great wildlife viewing opportunities especially toward evening with this heat. Info center is awesome - read it all before you go so you know what you are seeing! Will come back to check out the rest of the trails! We did two yesterday. 👣
Lovely trails, great scenery, and we appreciate the accessible walkways. My mom uses a walker, and she found it easy to get around.
This is such a beautiful lush place. Surprisingly green and wild. World class bird watching, excellent place for viewing wildlife. Lots of deer, some bear and big horned sheep maybe spotted on one of trails.
This is a relatively easy hike less than an hour away from the low desert cities. Higher elevation so the vegetation is more lush and wildlife opportunities greater. Overall quite enjoyable.
We love the preserve. Easy walking. Very peaceful. Opportunities to see lots of local and migrating birds and deer.
This park isn’t one of the prettiest in the winter. It’s the nature of their plant life. Still is beautiful in the abundance of trees that have fallen (but not paced a dent in what is still standing), sheer volume of leaves on the ground and all the plants that look like nothing but sticks.
That being said, they’ve also closed parts of the boardwalk trail damaged by the last couple of storms. They will take some time to repair.
Still it’s enjoyable for short easy walks.
Bird watching is still popular. The docents are nice to chat with. See what types of wildlife have been reported.
It’s a very peaceful place to walk or hike and do some morning meditation 🥰
Got beautiful photos of some deer 5 minutes into the trail it's amazing. The ppl we're extremely helpful, and I learned a lot in a short time. Be careful in covington Park next door, though if you have dogs, the goathead stickers are pretty bad.
