Surprisingly green the desert is behind the Coachella Valley in the foothills above on the S side. Here w my sister to visit friends, got fantastic hike in on Cahuila Reservation trails. Steep rocky 10K from 250m up to 900m elev. then back. Plentiful rains Nov-early Jan, so lots of new green grass, a few wildflowers. Did not see any Bighorn Sheep but some scat, they must be quite content now. 23C at start, perfect. Hard to imagine being here in June 馃槣. #climate #hiking #california #desert
