SUMMARY:Cactus to Clouds Hike
DESCRIPTION:Cactus to Clouds! \nLooking for a challenge? The route up to San Jacinto Peak is one of the toughest day hikes in the U.S.\, climbing over 10\,000 vertical feet\, but the views and reward are more than worth it. Rising from the desert to the peak over 16 miles\, you cross through multiple ecosystems on the way up. The best part is\, after descending only 3 more miles\, the gondola will take us back down into town. \nWe will leave Friday afternoon and dispersed camp near the trailhead\, so that we can get an early 2:30am start on the trail (we’re going to need it). After coming down\, we can enjoy a well earned dinner in Palm Springs\, and camp in Joshua Tree before heading back to Tempe on Sunday. \n🗺️ Location: Palm Springs\, CA\, San Jacinto Peak\n🌄 Activity: Camping and Hiking\n🏔️ Skill Level: Strenuous (Very)\n📌 Total Miles: 21 miles\n🥾 Total Elevation Gain: ~10\,800ft\n👥 Max People: 16\n🗞️ Costs: Gas ~ $40 per person\n⛅ Weather: In the desert: Highs in the 80s\, Lows in the 50s; On the Peak: Highs in the 40s\, Lows in the 20s\n🧭 Meeting Place: APMA\n🧳 What to Bring: Car camping gear\, Trail running shoes\, water\, snacks\, and endurance fuel in summit bag \nCHECK BACK LATER TO SIGN UP

SUMMARY:California Sand Dunes Backpacking & Stargazing
DESCRIPTION:We will be heading to the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness in California for an incredible backpacking trip in the dunes! We will camp on the sand and will go stargazing! Also we’re all gonna get milkshakes because that’s cool. It’s not a very long trek\, but it may be extra difficult because we will be trudging through the sand.
