The views from the top of the Shannon trail are truly fantastic whether you are looking at the snow covered mountains or the desert around Palm Springs. The first picture is looking west towards the mountains surrounding Palm Springs. On this particular day it was a bit cloudy, however you can still see the snow covered mountains quite easily. On sunny days the views are spectacular and well worth the time and the exercise. In addition hiking is one of the best exercise things to do and you are rewarded with scenery like this in the picture.<\/p>\n<h3>Hiking the Shannon Trail in Palm Springs<\/h3>\n<p>The second picture is looking towards the valley of Coachella where the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral city, Rancho Mirage, Indio etc are located. This is a great view of the valley and the mountains on the other side of the valley. The Shannon trail is a popular trail for many hikers in the Palm Springs area. This trail is approximately four miles in length and has an elevation increase of 800 feet. It is an easy to moderate trail and is named after an equestrian rider, Shannon Corliss, daughter of a past president of Desert Equestrian Riders named Ray Corliss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130222-191409.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130222-191409.jpg\" alt=\"20130222-191409.jpg\" \/><\/a>On a clear day you can literally see for almost 100 miles. On the day this picture was taken visibility was down to around 50 miles. It is still a spectacular view from on top of this trail. Next time we head up to this area, we will make sure that it is a clear sunny day. It will be hot, so we will take lots of water with us, hats and sun screen lotion.<\/p>\n<p>For more hiking and things to do information in the Palm Springs area, <a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/category\/palm-springs-california\/palm-springs-posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 630px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiking the Shannon Trail in Palm Springs is a fun thing to do when you are staying in the city.
