Geocache Description:

This will give you a nice view of the Palm Springs International Airport.

There’s lots of hiking and mountain biking trails in this area, all of which offer fabulous views of the desert cities and surrounding mountains.

TRAILHEAD: There are two.

Elks trailhead: This one is for the adventurous soul who likes it rough and steep. Give yourself an extra ½ star terrain rating if you take this route. Located behind the Elks Lodge in Cathedral City. Take Elk Dr. south from Hwy 111 and park behind the Elks Lodge in the southwest corner. Trailhead coordinates: 33d 47.273 W116d 29.098. Hike up the steep, rocky canyon 200 feet, staying to the left of the canyon. This route does require some rock scrambling and this small canyon has collected its share of junk. Once at the top of this short canyon, you will see the jeep trail coming up from the Broadmoor trailhead on your right. Make your way to the trail and head southwest.

Broadmoor trailhead: Being a jeep trail, this trailhead is probably the preferred trailhead for most. Trailhead is at the end of Broadmoor at the east end of the Vons Rimrock Shopping Center on South Palm Canyon Dr. Trailhead coordinates: N33d 47.429 W116 29.535. Suggested parking is the shopping center area. This is a popular mountain biking trail, and is also referred to as Goat Trail.

Cache is a blue paintball container with geoswag, logbook and pen.
