Tips from the community
Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is part of the Sand to Snow National Monument, and is a great place to go hiking and birdwatching. It is an unusual desert oasis, where the existence of water leads to an abundance of life. There is an oasis boardwalk here that is accessible for all and suitable for smaller children (though if you bring children, please keep an eye on them as there have been bear, cougar, bobcat, and rattlesnake sightings here).
