The Bump and Grind in Palm Desert
Before you let your mind get too far with that, it is the name of a HIKE!
Nutmeg is terrified of snakes and a good girl scout, so there is no way she is going hiking alone. The Bump and Grind hike is different, it is like going to the gym outside. You park in a very urban setting, right behind Target and basically follow the crowd. It is a very good workout, 2 miles up and about 750 feet of elevation gain. The path is wide so you can easily pass slower walkers and you can see the snakes if they are on the trail (thankfully none in sight). Like every hike in the desert make sure to take water, a hat, sunglasses, wear sunscreen and do not wear white shorts (no one should). Other than a decent workout, the people watching is certainly lots of fun.
Here is Nutmeg’s association of hikers on the trail to the cars parked…
