    This 7.4 mile, shuttle hike offers a great aerobic workout while enjoying the beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains, Santa Rosa Mountains, and Coachella Valley.  A creek after the big uphill climb offers a refreshing break from the desert mountain trail conditions. The return trail follows high above the creek as it descends into Palm Canyon.

    Everyone will gather for this shuttle-supported hike at 8:30 AM at the Trading Post inside Indian Canyons.  Once gathered, several cars will be used to shuttle all hikers to the Murray Canyon parking lot where the hike will begin.

There are panoramic views and dessert flora and fauna.  

    No internet, very little shade, bring plenty of water.

    Union Station and Fred Harvey Restaurant tour

    January 22, 2026 beginning at 10:30 AM


     I, Frederick Brown, a Metro Arts Council Docent will be leading a group tour of Union Station and the Fred Harvey Restaurant on January 22, 20206, beginning at 10:30 AM and ending at approximately 12:00 PM. Because the group that has requested the tour is small, Barbara Lashenik who is in charge of the art tours told me that I could invite members of another group. Because I will be helping her to set up the tour, I need to be at Metro Headquarters at 9:15 AM and won’t be able to join those riding the train.


    For those interested in driving, we will be meeting at the Information Booth just inside the entrance to the station at 10:30 AM. For those taking metro from Long Beach, the best place to park is Willow Street Station which has amble free parking. To arrive at Union Station, take the northbound A Line toward Pomona North, leaving Willow Station at 9:11 AM, arriving at Union Station at 10:07 AM. That will allow you 23 minutes to walk to the West Portal where you will find the Information Booth. Because I will be helping her to set up the tour, I need to be at Metro Headquarters at 9:15 AM and won’t be able to join those riding the train


    Union Station was finished and opened in 1939. Metro purchased Union Station in 2011 and has been refurbishing it since.


    We will begin our tour in the concourse, then visit the restaurant, followed by the waiting room. Lastly we will travel through the passageway to the East Portal. You will hear about he architecture and history of the station. We will also view some of the art in the station in the time that we have.


    For those wanting to have lunch, there are several good options around the station.

    The Palm Springs Art Museum recently opened a LGBTQ+ themed  permanent gallery — the only one of its kind in the nation. This dedicated space was created to explore themes that emerge when you see works by multiple queer artists together. It becomes much easier to understand the range and complexity of a queer perspective in art when you can look at a collection rather than individual pieces. Due to other major exhibitions and regularly scheduled highlights tours, the museum is not currently offering public group tours of this gallery. Instead, access is available only through private group tours.

    Join us for a rare, private docent-led tour of this gallery at a very special price. The usual $500 private docent tour fee has been waived, and museum admission for non-members has been reduced from the regular $25 charge. (Admission is free for museum members.) After the tour, participants are welcome to explore the rest of the museum including LIVS, the restaurant in the sculpture garden, run by the same chef as Bar Cecil. If you would like to be included in the optional group lunch reservation, please indicate this when you register.  

    Due to museum requirements, the last day to register for the tour is February 28 (if space is still available).

    Allow time to arrive at the museum, park, and enter the building by 10:15 AM.

    • Indian Canyons
    • 13

    This hike begins on the popular Palm Canyon Trail and then ventures beyond into the less  frequently visited East Fork Canyon and Dry Wash before reconnecting with the Palm Canyon Trail. Although peak bloom season isn't easily forecast, we may be lucky with wildflower sightings and views of snow on the San Jacinto Mountains.

    Although much of the trail has been graded in the recent past, we will also encounter miles of canyon sand with several more challenging climbs up dry falls and boulders.

    Description:

    • Trail Length: 6.5 miles
    • Elevation Gain/Loss: 922 feet 
    • Difficulty Rating: moderate plus
    • Terrain: well-traveled sandy and rocky trail with a few falls and boulders 
    • Bring: Ten Essentials, water (2.5 liters recommended), snacks and lunch, sun protection, layered clothing, hiking poles may be helpful. Carry emergency contact information. Wear sturdy hiking footwear with good tread. 

    Hiking Requirements (How can I tell if a hike is for me?). You will need to be in good physical condition for this hike due to its length and route climbing challenges. Click here for more information.

    Each participant must pay the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation entry fee ($12 per person, $7 for seniors 62+) at the Indian Canyons tollgate. Tickets may be purchased in advance online. Tollgate opens at 8 AM. Because cars may be lined up at the tollgate in season, carpooling is encouraged. You are responsible for arranging your own transportation or ride share. Drivers should proceed to the Trading Post. Hikers will depart from the Trading Post at 8:30 AM.

    Come and experience the Salton Sea for yourself, and discover why it is one of the most extraordinary and fascinating places in California. It is a unique place with many hidden treasures and secrets that are not well known. It has been forgotten as a busy tourist attraction of bygone years. Today, we have an amazing place to visit and explore. The sunsets and sunrises are stunning and peaceful. You should take the opportunity to experience it before its receding water levels cause it to change and vanish.

    One of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at -227 below sea level, Salton Sea was re-created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed downward into the Salton Trough. By the time engineers were finally able to stop the breaching water in 1907, the Salton Sea had been born at 45 miles long and 20 miles wide – equaling about 130 miles of shoreline. Salton Sea State Recreation Area covers 14 miles of the northeastern shore. Campers, birdwatchers, photographers and hikers can enjoy the site's many recreation opportunities. View the Salton Sea Recreation Area Brochure here.

    We will be camping at the Mecca Beach campground at the Salton Sea Recreation Area (SRA). The meet and greet, potluck and other activities will take place there. March is an ideal time to visit with mild temperatures.  Mecca Beach Campground is remote.  The markets and activities are a 20+ minute drive from the campground.  This campground is 50 yards from the water. In recent years, most life in the Salton Sea has perished, so there is no more massive fish die-offs, which means there is no longer that potent scent.  In fact there is typically no smell coming from the sea at all.  The sea itself is awe-inspiring.  You should not swim in the water at Salton Sea, nor should you allow your dogs to drink the water.  It is heavily polluted with fertilizer chemicals from farm run-off.  

    Activities could include hiking a slot canyon in the Mecca Hills, a 4x4 excursion, or an easy hike to the Visitor Center to view exhibits and a video on the Salton Sea.  Other activities could be a road trip to Niland area sites, including Salvation Mountain and East Jesus in Slab City, Obsidian Butte, the mud pot volcanoes, and the Salton Sea Reclamation Project. Check the whiteboard for updated activities info.

    NOTE:  This event is limited to GO members.  When you register, you'll need to have your credit card ready and pay your registration fee within 15 mins. If you are not a member yet, you can first join as a member online (click here) and then return here to register.

There is a small store on Highway 111 and markets in Mecca.

    Amenities for Tent Campers: This is a good campground for tent campers. The campsites are huge, level ,and sandy with trees that provide shade.  Sites are shared with another tent or an RV.  Parking is also shared between the two campers. If you want to share the space with another tent or a specific camper, send the Trip Leader an email and we will try and arrange it. 

    There are seven powered sites.  They have 20, 30 & 50 amp service. If you tent camp at a powered site you may be able to share power with an RV.  Bring a long outdoor extension cord, an outdoor splitter and a 30 amp RV male to 15/20 amp female adapter plug to give you flexibility in sharing power with an RV. 

    Climate: Average for March: 83° / 49°    U.S.Climate Data. March can be windy, rainy, and/or cold overnight.  Check the weather forecasts before the campout, so that you can be prepared for the weekend's weather conditions.

Bring a water hose splitter and a 50 to 30 amp adapter. The RV electric sites have a sewer connection. At the end of the campout, RV's should be able to dump at the dump station located at New Camp which is included in your registration fee. If you registered for a non-electric RV site, fresh water is available at the dump site to fill your RV tank before arriving at your site at the Mecca Beach campground.
    • RV Non-Electric Sites are dry camping sites – no hookups. QUIET HOURS are from 10 pm to 6 am and generators may only be operated between 10 am and 8 pm. See New Camp below for dump site information.
    • Maximum motor home length at Mecca Beach is 35 feet,
    • There are only four electric sites at Mecca Beach. If you require electric power and water there are electric sites at New Camp and Visitor Center sites located one mile north of Mecca Beach; if you choose to reserve your own site, you can register here as D1 'reserved your own site'.

    Directions:   The campground is located 30 miles south of Indio on Highway 111.

      Westward Beach, Point Dume

      to Paradise Cove Café

      When: March 28, 2026, 11:00 AM 

      Join us for an exciting coastal hike. We begin at Westward Beach, over Point Dume, down approximately 200 stairs to the sand, and proceed to Paradise Cove Beach Café for lunch. Our hike is along the base of sea cliffs and is only possible during very low tides. This is an exciting Malibu experience, combining breathtaking coastal scenery with a beachside cafe frequented by celebrities. We will have plenty of stops to look for whales, dolphins, and sea lions. When looking at the tide pools please do not touch any of the animals, actually it is against the law, and be extra careful where you step.

      The return may have to be on top of the bluff, through the ritzy, star-studded neighborhoods but preferably along the sand and back up the stairs.

      Directions: Westward Beach Parking Lot, Pacific Coast Highway to the end of Westward Beach Road

      Meeting point: Drive to the end of Westward Beach Rd. and park, $8.00. We will meet at the end of the parking lot just beyond the restrooms.

      Hiking Distance: ~5 miles total

      Difficulty: Moderate, lengthy stairs, beach walking and a short hill up Point Dume

      Bring: Water, Snacks, Beach friendly shoes with grip for stairs, Hat/sunscreen,Towel or beach gear if you’re hanging after

      Brunch: Paradise Cove Café  Credit cards accepted.

      Wrap-up: 2-3PM

      Optional: Hang out on the beach afterward! ️

      Low tide timing looks perfect, so we should have a smooth walk in the coves and around the points—just be prepared for a little bit of sea spray and beachy fun.

      Can’t wait to have this adventure with you all!

      Registration is free but required.  Participants must have registered to sign the mandatory liability release for which is part of the online registration process.

      If you register and then cannot go, please be respectful of others who wish to go by canceling your registration online ASAP to open up spaces. 

      If you have additional questions about this event, please email the trip leader at the address shown below.

      Trip Leader: Russell Hammerl President-LA@GreatOutdoors.org


      After our hike on Point Dume we will walk on the beach below these cliffs.


      These stairs were completed in mid 2022 for a cost of 3.3 million.  Don’t be intimidated, we will take it slow.

      Looking back to Westward Beach from Point Dume.  A west facing beach is unusual in Malibu as most face south.  Zuma is next beach faintly seen in the distance.

      Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner loved Paradise Cove and spent their honeymoon on their yacht in the cove. Perhaps we will see a current member of the glitterati.


      A very low tide is required to do this hike. There are extremely few instances of such a very low tide happening on a weekend each year.

      In the spring this prehistoric looking plant, the coreopsis, comes alive and is covered with beautiful yellow flowers. It only grows on Point Dume and a couple of points on the Channel Islands. Let’s protect it and other species by staying on the trails.

      Everything Included. For Nothing.

      Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you need to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

      Oh, and by basic beverages we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.

      Lance being an Atlantis Alumni has registered for the cruise.

      Hawaii Big Island Day Hikes

      Tues 4/28/26 and Thu 4/30/26

      Hawaii is full of attractions that are unlike anything else in the world, but even among these unique wonders, Hawaii’s volcanoes stand out as truly remarkable. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii protects some of these natural marvels, including two of the world's largest and most active volcanoes.

      Come join me for day hikes at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and on the Big Island of Hawaii to experience stunning landscapes created by these volcanoes.

      Registration: Limited to Great Outdoors members

      Day Hike: Tue. Apr. 28th, 2026 at 9 am- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

      Day Hike: Thu. Apr. 30th, 2026 at 9 am- Big Island Hawaii, local trail. Location TBA.

      Transportation & Lodging: Air, ground transportation, lodging, meals, fuel, and travel costs on the Big Island of Hawaii is the responsibility of each member. It is strongly recommended that members purchase travel insurance to insure their trip costs in the event of cancellation or interruption. 

      Fees: Day hikes are FREE.  There is a vehicle entrance fee of $30 to enter Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  A valid national park pass waives the entrance fee. There may be parking and entrance fees charged at the trailhead of a local hiking trail on the Big Island.

      What to Bring: Day Pack with Ten Essentials. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and rain protection. Pack a lunch, snacks, and water.

      Important information

      Great Outdoors is not arranging air, ground transportation, or lodging for members on the Big Island of Hawaii. 

      Register- Please RSVP for a day hike so I know who is coming.

      I will email attendees with essential details such as trailhead location, parking, and hike mileage and elevation gain for each day hike up to two weeks before the event. 

      I am visiting the Big Island of Hawaii the week of 4/26 to 5/03/26 and inviting other Great Outdoors members to join me on day hikes on Tuesday 4/28 and Thursday 4/30/26.

      I am staying in Kailua-Kona, so if you are also visiting the Big Island of Hawaii during the last week of April 2026, reach out and let’s meet up.



      Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

      Climate- In late April, the climate on the Big Island of Hawaii is generally pleasant, with daytime temperatures averaging in the high 70’s to low 80’s F and evening temperatures dropping into the 60’s F.  This month marks the end of the rainy season, so you can expect fewer rain showers, although it’s still possible to experience some rain, especially at night.

      Questions?

      Yosemite National Park

      Curry Village Canvas Tents

      May 15-18, 2026

      Need we say more?

       Yes we will! 

      Spring in Yosemite can't be beat!

      We will be heading to Yosemite at the BEST time to visit this illustrious National Park!  The weather will be amazing with the waterfalls at their most dynamic! Our lodging for the 3-night outing will be in Camp Curry, in unheated canvas tents.

      These events get sold out to capacity each year!

      Do NOT hesitate to book as soon as possible as we expect this event to be SOLD OUT again!


      Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country and we in southern California are very fortunate to have it so close. If you have never seen it then this Great Outdoors trip is a good opportunity for you to be introduced to this special place.

      If you have been there one or more times, then you’ll understand why many have made a Yosemite visit an annual event.  The grandeur and majesty of the park are so enriching that Yosemite can be experienced and enjoyed again and again.  The natural beauty of the park has inspired many for the last 150 years, but perhaps none more effusive than John Muir, who said of Yosemite, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” Please join us in this temple of the great outdoors.

      Pictured above:  Richard, Mike and Claudia half way up to the top of upper Yosemite Falls, this photo is at the top of lower Yosemite Falls.

      The location of this trip will be Yosemite Valley.  Our accommodations are canvas tents in Camp Curry, a rustic but charming village near the east end of the valley.

      Arrival should be about 4:00 pm on Friday afternoon.

      For both Saturday and Sunday, there will be optional hikes each day to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy.  Or simply visit the galleries, stores, bike ride, museums and/or stroll in the valley floor!


      Pictured above:  We are hitting the Panorama Trail that will put us back to Yosemite Valley - 8 Miles.  Yippee!

      On Monday morning we must check out of the cabins by 11:00 am. 

      More details will be announced as we finalize registration.

      Canvas Tents:

      We have secured four canvas tents for our group.  

      Each tent has 3 single beds and a double.  We can max out at 5 people per tent.  We are hoping to get a couple or friends (with benefits or without benefits) to share the double bed.  This way we can max out each tent with 5 people so that we can get as many as possible to experience Yosemite for this excursion.

      If you want to be in the same tent with another member please note that on the registration.

      If you prefer sharing a double cot with someone please note that on the registration and who the person is so we match you with the correct person.

      If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.




       Driving & Directions:

      While GO is not authorized to be directly involved in coordinating carpools, we highly recommend our members to consider carpooling!

      What else?

      Cooking facilities/campfire rings are not available in Curry Village. However, there are several dining options near our cabins.  




      Such as Pizza & Beer, Cafeteria (with Vegan options!) and of course burgers & fries too. A general store is also open for purchasing food items and other material goods. You may bring snack food and drinks, but all food and scented items must be stored in the bear-proof storage locker in front of the cabin. This includes all food, food related items, toiletries, sundries and ice chests. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to anything they think will lead them to human food. Remember not to store these items in your vehicle or  canvas tent . It is recommended to use sealed plastic containers for storing your food inside the bear boxes. This makes it easier to keep your food organized, and away from campground critters.

      And of course, there is the option of having some fine dining at the Awahnee!


      Showers, sinks and flush toilets are all available to participants.

      Be sure to remember a flashlight or headlamp to find your way around Camp Curry at night. In addition, a sleeping bag (recommended), an extra blanket or a honey bunny may help keep you warm at night.  Other things to bring:

      •Warm outer gear appropriate for snow and/or rain or Shorts and T-shirts for warm days

      •Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

      •Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

      •Sunglasses, sun block (for your face), lip balm 

      •Sturdy hiking shoes 


      Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the low 50s (night time) to the low-mid 70s during the day. Conditions may vary between sun, clouds, rain, or snow. Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected!  

      The trip leader will inform you of the weather conditions a couple days before our arrival but you may also want to keep abreast of them by using the Yosemite National Park website. (Click here.)





      Price: 

      $225 for Great Outdoors members for the 4 days/3 nights event.  Come early on Friday to enjoy the park and/or stay late on Monday to enjoy the park!  We will check into our canvas tents at 4 PM on Friday.

      This is a members only event, thus an annual membership ($25) must be purchased prior to signing up for this event.

      If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.

      Cancellations will be authorized up to 21 days prior to start day of event IF a replacement can be found; a $20 cancellation fee will be charged.

      Trip Leader: Lance Whitmier



      Lance states:  Yosemite mesmerized me the very first time I visited the Park in the 90's.  I always brag about the majestic beauty of Yosemite along with it's grandeur and power.  I claim that Yosemite is indeed "my Heaven on Earth" and I can't wait to share the experience with you!"  For those visiting Yosemite for the first time - be prepared to experience a bit of heaven and the surreal!

      Select your registration that conforms to the following definitions:

      • RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or season use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).
      • Tent: a collapsible shelter of fabric stretched and sustained by poles and used for camping.

      Prices:  (example 2) There is no charge for this event.  Each person going must complete a separate registration.  We do this so each registrant acknowledges our liability waiver condition.

Other GO Chapter members should contact our GOPS Webmaster (click here to email) in order to be added as a member of our Chapter for free. Each person going must complete a separate registration. We do this so each registrant acknowledges our liability waiver condition.

      RV's and tents may share sites - maximum of one RV and one tent on each site. When reserving an RV site, please select the smallest RV site which will accommodate your RV's length.

      The Copper Canyon train in Mexico, known as El Chepe (Chihuahua al Pacífico Railway), is a spectacular engineering marvel and scenic journey through Mexico's Sierra Madre, connecting the desert to the Pacific by traversing massive canyons (larger than the Grand Canyon) with breathtaking views, tunnels, and bridges.  The train journey is considered to be one of the greatest train journeys in the world, and the finest in North America.  Built over decades, the line features 39 bridges and 86 tunnels, climbing from near sea level to over  8,000 feet.  The trip from El Fuerte to Creel is about 7 hours.  Expect dramatic drops, deep gorges, and diverse landscapes.  The train trip will start in El Fuerte reaching Creel in the early evening.  For a 3 minute PBS video of the Copper Canyon Railway click here.

      • Dos Picos County Park Trip Notes

        Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona, California. Its name is Spanish for "two peaks," derived from the two prominent mountains nearby. The surrounding ranch land and steep rocky slopes help preserve its secluded atmosphere.

        This park is known for its magnificent Oak trees.  The landscape is a mixture of chaparral, open grassland, and oak woodland. Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon are all seen in the park regularly.

        The city of Ramona is minutes away when driving.  You may purchase food and other supplies there.

        Maximum RV length is 40 feet.  All sites have E/W. Several sites will be dedicated as tent sites.  These sites can have three tents, max and two cars.  The water spigots at these sites are unique.  It is housed in a plastic box that sits below ground level.  

        Tent campers, all the sites are gravel.   Your tent will likely be pitched on gravel.  Please bring blow-up mattresses or cots to sleep on, so you are not sleeping on gravel.  Tents should also bring extension cords. 

        At each site there is room for an RV and tow vehicle, or two vehicles.  Extra vehicles can park in the overflow lot for a total of $9, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  It’s located on the opposite side of the campground from our sites, so car camping would NOT be a good choice, please bring a tent.

        Leashed dogs are welcome at $1/night/dog.  Campers will pay for their own dogs upon check-in at the campground. 

        Sites 63 & 69 are ADA sites.  If you have an ADA placard, please let the trip leader know.   

        We will have access to the indoor pavilion and its outdoor picnic area.  It is located in the middle of all our sites.  There is a massive fire pit. The use of that pavilion and its outdoor space was an additional cost that was figured into the cost of this campout.  Typical weather in this area in November is high 73, low 42.

        Cancellation policy: cancel for full refund minus a $10 fees on or before Nov 10th, 2024.
