This is a very POPULAR HIKE.  This hike will be limited to the first 15 people to sign up.

This is a unique experience if you haven’t done it. The slot canyons are fantastic. There are ladders to climb and art on the canyon walls. The Ladder Canyon Loop begins in a spacious, sandy canyon and gets progressively narrower as it goes on. There’s a rockfall that you’ll have to climb. As you continue, you will have to climb ladders.

Although Ladder Canyon is narrow, it is wide enough to hike through. The canyon opens as you ascend higher, offering sky views above. You will be rewarded with magnificent vistas of Mount San Jacinto. Along the trail, you’ll see low bushes and huge ocotillo plants.

NOTE: THIS HIKE IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLE CLIMBING UP AND DOWN TALL LADDERS AND BEING IN NARROW PLACES. PLEASE ASSESS YOUR COMFORT LEVELS CAREFULLY. GLOVES, POLES, AND AT LEAST TWO LITERS OF WATER PER PERSON IS REQUIRED. BRING CAMERAS!

It is a 4.5-mile dirt road into the trailhead, so an appropriate vehicle is best.
