We had the opportunity to take a nice 8 KM, 2 hour hike in the Badlands with our friend KK and his dog Midge. We hiked to the top of one of the mountains and had a great view of the Valley.
East Indio Badlands trail opened in 2020 to the public. It offers a spectacular loop through a classic Badland topography, formed by thousands of years of erosion and San Andreas Fault. We hiked through slot canyons, through the shadows of tectonic uptilts, and along a prominent ridge with 360 views from the Salton Sea to San Gorgonio mountain.
Badlands means a baron area in which soft rock strata are eroded into varied fantastic forms. There you go a bit of trivia for you all!
