Take a walk on the wild side at the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.
There are seven distinct trails offering a wide variety of landscapes and habitats. Imagine a leisurely hike through a lush, thriving canyon of willows and free flowing water, standing in sharp contrast to the surrounding arid desert slopes.
More than 240 species of birds have been observed in the Preserve, including several rare or unusual species, such as the Vermilion Flycatcher, which is the signature bird of the Preserve.
Observe 2-billion year old rock formations which define the Morongo Valley fault, and are the physical evidence of the geologic feature that created this oasis in the desert.
There is no fee, but donations are welcome and can be placed in the designated collection box.
Visitors are also welcome to visit Big Morongo Canyon Preserve to explore and walk the established trails as individuals or in self-guided groups.
The Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is located at 11055 East Drive, in Morongo Valley, and Covington Park adjoins the Preserve at 50100 Park Ave, Morongo Valley. For more information, call (760) 363-6454.
