While in the park, the wind blew so hard that we were advised to be careful when we opened our car doors at the lookout to avoid having them ripped off!! This confirmed what we'd heard about this area. The coachella valley is the fifth windiest place on earth! Accounts for the forest of windmills you encounter as you enter the Palm Springs area.
The dark cloud we noticed as we headed home turned into rain and Highway 10 once again because our least favourite place.
The round trip was about 300 km! It is a long way up and through the park but we are unscathed and hope to get up there once or twice a week. Tomorrow we do our homework to figure out good hikes.
