Coachella valley Hiking club

The Coachella Valley Hiking Club was founded in 1992 by Philip Ferranti. Our goal is to offer a wide range of guided hikes for members and visitors to our valley to a variety of beautiful locations in the low desert and the surrounding mountains. We have a membership of several hundred hikers that includes both year-round residents and seasonal snowbirds.

We usually offer 3-6 weekly hikes year round for hikers of all abilities, from easy interpretive rambles to fast-paced, strenuous workouts. Our hike leaders are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. The club often hosts monthly evening socials at a local restaurant, as well as other special events for members, such as the Welcome Back potluck in the fall and the Annual Dinner in the spring. " 

The first few hikes for non-members are free, and we encourage visitors and valley residents to come on some hikes to get acquainted and enjoy the camaraderie of a group of fellow outdoors enthusiasts. Please come and join us!
