Today we took my parents on a hike we did last year in Palm Canyon:

After 1.5 miles, we reached the oasis of California Palms:

It was neat walking into the grove:

Endomondo only captured the hike back:

It started to rain as we hiked back to the truck.  We probably had a half-inch of rain back at the RV.  The valley smells wonderfully of wet creosote bushes.
