There is parking near a beautiful trailhead at Coachella Valley Preserve that is quite a level path to some quiet springs in the middle of a grove of palm trees. When we hiked there someone spotted an owl in a nest. A branch of this trail goes west to a hilltop that was covered in flowers in January. Imagine it s even more stunning now after more rains.
