Contributer: gpskevin (03-31-2006)
Distance: 39 mi.

This is both a Kid Challenging route and a great adult ride. The ride will be 39 miles long, visit the famous Phone Booth and include lunch at Superburger in SaltonCity. They have great Milkshakes! The ride leaves camp and crosses open desert to Bank Wash. It turns on Pumpkin Patch Trail and winds to Pumpkin Patch. The route then heads north on 'Whoop de Do Alley' and crosses HY-S22 to the Truckhaven Trail. Once in the Truckhaven area the ride takes several Jeep trails across the valley. After crossing Palm Wash the route climbs through a saddle and goes down to Coral Wash. The ride then follows Coral Wash up onto a mesa and then across the mesa to the base of the highest mountain. Kids will park their bikes here and take a 5 minute walk to the Phone Booth. This is a great view and kids must sign the book at the Phone Booth. After leaving the booth the ride cuts back into Coral Wash and through a narrow canyon driving under Squeeze Arch. The ride then cuts under HY-86 and over to Superburger for Milkshakes and lunch. These are the best Milkshakes in all of the desert!. After lunch the ride cuts into Arroyo Salada Wash then onto the Cut Across Trail. Finally the route merges onto Cahuilla Trail and back to camp.
