Hiking date: February 20 2016
Location: Mecca Hills CA
Rate: normal
What a hike! Today, we went far out, past Indio, into the chocolate mountains near Mecca to hike Ladder Canyon. Try to go on a weekend when it is crowded because robbers could break open windows to steal, even if there is nothing in there. You start out walking on a wide dirt road. Notice the huge granite rocks that surround you. Look for the trail marker and go left. It is a little like the Museum trail, only a lot more rocks. Soon, you will reach three ladders, the second being a little scary for kids. Then, go through a crevice in the canyon and reach a another ladder. Then hike up to the top of the ridge. It was defiantly a favorite. These pictures are so cool that I have to make them bigger
