North Lykken

Hiking date: January 1 2016 

Location: Palm Springs CA

Rate: normal

First hike of 2016! Kendall, my sister, wants to start hiking like us. So we took her on North Lykken. The trail starts off at a wide dirt road. See a trail that veers off to the left, which is the North Lykken trail. You start off switch backing up the hillside. Next, the trail enters a meadow of rocks and then goes along the mountain. As you ascend, notice two signs, both saying, "Don't veer off the trail". That is true, because once on Cactus To Clouds, we got lost on this trail. But a runner told us that we were on this trail. Make a bend, and see a sign that indicates the Museum/Skyline trail. At this point, you have gone half of the trail. We haven't been beyond there, but still, We thought this was fun.

Hard to believe that Kendall is on Cactus to Clouds:
