Big Morongo Canyon Preserve

We went for a morning hike at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, and were hoping for some good bird watching. It was both a great hike and had great bird watching! The trails are well marked and there are several - they are marked for distance and difficulty. The bird watching on the trails was good, but it was really great not too far from the entrance were a fountain and various bird feeders had been set up. We saw a huge flock of Western Bluebirds, it was fantastic. We also saw hummingbirds, plenty of various finches, scrub jays, woodpeckers, and more. It was great!

Love hiking here gorgeous place. Amazing climate. Morongo Valley holds a special place in my heart.

I'll have to give it another try in a different season. There wasn't much wildlife to view out on the trail. Easy boardwalk to walk either left or right. The hurricane has destroyed parts of the trail making it an out and back walk instead of a loop. The gentleman at the entrance was very pleasant to talk to. He had tons of information and was great with kids.

Pristine oasis in the desert with large aspen, mesquite etc. The trails on boardwalks are very well maintained. Bring your binoculars to watch the birds. Hikes are very easy, with no elevation gain. Free of charge. Best kept secret next to Palm Springs.

Good place for hiking, bird watching and viewing wild life. Nice fall colors.

Love this place! Great trails and many birding and wildlife viewing opportunities!

Great place for a hike. All trails are pretty easy.

It is a wonderful place for birdwatching. Trails are through various habitats from dry to riparian.
