March 22, 2021Easy And flat but not a lot to look at
February 21, 2021Kind a lost the trail a bit and made our own way for this hike. Not making new paths but just following random trails
February 20, 2021Awesome
February 19, 2021Don’t let the trail photo fool you there is no lake on this hike. You would have to go another 3 miles to get to the lake. Easy out and back and would have loved to have my mtb to explore this area.
February 14, 2021Dry but nice
February 7, 2021Very nice stroll out in the desert. It got warm near midday so be prepared with lots of water and look out for heat conditions prior to heading out.
February 1, 2021This route is not what is shown on trail map. 3.2 miles to lake, 6.4 roundtrip.
January 24, 2021Great hike, with some great views.
January 14, 2021January 5, 2021Wonderful desert trail. Great hike but very little shade so wear a good hat and bring water.
January 3, 2021December 27, 2020Lots of people without masks and lots of bikes.
December 21, 2020December 19, 2020Wear a mask! Not everyone was wearing a mask. Sandy and sunny. Wear hiking boots and take out your trash.
November 26, 2020November 26, 2020Pretty easy hike to do. Brought my 50+ y/o parents. High top shoes recommended because there’s some areas of soft sand where low tops would get buried. No shade so I’d wear a hat/sunblock, etc...
November 23, 2020November 23, 2020The distance is for one way only
November 8, 2020October 24, 2020October 10, 2020Nice, be sure to follow the markers.
October 10, 2020Trail was beautiful. Saw some gorgeous views of the cove covered in the sunset. Weather was great too.
June 9, 2020May 6, 2020March 6, 2020Hiked the La Quinta Cove Trail & then went on to hike a portion of the Boo Hoff Trail. Recommend the Boo Hoff Trail because it has more "character" & adds more challenge than the LQ Cove Trail. Very little shade...be sure to take plenty of water!
January 16, 2020Dogs are NOT ALLOWED (beyond the opening walk-up), and there is a requirement that visitors need to pay to visit the lake. Very frustrating not to have known that before we went!
February 13, 2019Definitely the best expert-level trail for mountain biking. This Trail equals those that would be found in Mammoth Mountain or Tahoe... one thing to keep in mind is there are TONS of caves so make sure to bring protection. Additionally, especially the higher up you go, the potential for rain goes up. Absolutely beautiful!
