Before our stroll around downtown Palm Springs this am but after coffee and breakfast at a cafe called Koffi, recommended to us by friends in Sidney, British Columbia, Bob and I walked a short bit to the edge of town to hit the trailhead for the North Lykken Trail and then hooking up with the museum trail to bring us back into town. The North Lykken Trail was touted as being moderate difficulty with an 850 foot elevation gain eased by switchbacks and with great views of Palm Springs. The Museum Trail was described as strenuous and steep. Both were as advertised.
I did not get a photo of the elevation gains.
Google isn’t much help with this, may need to pester a local.
