Bump and Grind Trail
Palm Desert, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
A steep, popular workout trail (the loop is about 4 miles with roughly 1,000 ft of gain) starting from the Painters Path trailhead. It suits fit teens, not little kids. Each year from February 1 to April 30 the upper section closes to protect bighorn lambing. There is no shade, so start at dawn in warm months and carry plenty of water.
