Berboo Canyon, California 2003
Date 07/31/2003
Trail Time 3 Hours
Location Indio, CA
Mapping / GPS / Waypoint File Coming Soon
Berdoo Canyon starts just north of Indio, off of Berdoo Canyon road and Dillan Road . The trail starts in what appears to be a local dumping area, greatly reducing to appeal of the canyon. Broken asphalt is present for the first 2 miles in the canyon. The asphalt and garbage make way to a narrow, pretty desert canyon with just enough challenge to keep things interesting for a stock 4wd. There are several optional areas to allow for the occasional challenge. The canyon ends in Joshua Tree National Park, and provides nice views of the hills and flora in the area.

Trail Rating: 2 (1-5 scale)

 Note: There is really only one obstacle at the end of the canyon that may require a spotter or rock stacking
Major Obstacle None
