We get out in the desert & canyons as often as we can, even though we didn't pack anything like hiking clothes. So it was that one recent day, fitted up in our colourful outfits and city-street sneakers, we headed out to spend a day walking/hiking the easy trails on this Costanoan-Ohlone territory just south of Palm Springs. Here's some of what, and whom, I saw on that day.
