The elevation is somewhere around 6000 feet and there are look out points in the park that over look the Coachella valley with the towns of Palm Springs, Cathedral city, Rancho Mirage, Indio etc. The climate is always much cooler compared to the desert. You can typically find the temperatures at least 20 degrees cooler and much stronger winds as well. Many people from the desert communities will head up into the high desert in the summer time to get away from the extreme heat.<\/p>\n<p>The desert communities can hit 120 degrees F, while in the high desert is only 100F. It might not seem like a lot, but anytime it is 20 degrees cooler you appreciate it.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/20130423-210929.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/20130423-210929.jpg\" alt=\"20130423-210929.jpg\" \/><\/a>There is lots of camping and hiking available in the park.
