Located at 72500 Thrush Rd, Palm Desert, CA 92260. This is a very popular trail because of the Cross. Many locals like to hike at night when the Cross is illuminated. The best time do that when it’s full moon. The trail is a loop which many people don’t do because it’s not shown on the map. It’s really worth doing and I would highly recommend if anybody has decided to hike the Cross. Total experience is way better doing the loop hike.
