No permit is required since your already a guest of the Aerial Tramway. They are several trails here you can enjoy. We did the first trail and I did that in flip flops, don’t recommend it, but I survived:)
The first is Long Valley Discovery Trail, just follow the nature trail post around a ¾ mile (1.2 km) loop. This easy level trail provides an excellent introduction to the Parks plants and animals. No feeding the animals.
Desert View Trail: A 1.5 Mile (2 km) trail leads to a number of scenic overlooks and forest views. Short climbs, moderately strenuous.
PERMIT REQUIRED (FREE)
Wilderness Trails: A number of excellent opportunities for more challenging day kikes or camping are beyond Long Valley. Please check in at the Ranger Station for a Wilderness Permit, and to inquire about current conditions. SO SIGN IN PLEASE, this is so they know when and who for YOUR safety.

It was 92 degrees when we left Palm Springs and about 70 degrees at the top. You can full circle back to Hwy 10 (which is the way most people drive into Palm Springs from the North) Great little site seeing trip with beautiful mountain views and a huge variety of landscape changes. From rugged desert to forest land. They have some great hiking trails for the adventuresome. Leave a Comment Directions: Take Palm Canyon South to Hwy 74 which is in Palm Desert. Follow signs to Idyllwild and then just stay on that road.

Bring plenty of water say a pint per person. Drive in a group or join a tour. Stay on the path. Or better still, stay in the shade. You'[ll be surprised how much cooler it is under the shade. In fact we saw whole families having a picnic right under one! Leave a Comment Address: 20 minutes drive from Palm Springs
