How it works
You don't have to plan a thing.
Palm Springs trail adventures, fully outfitted.
Your gear arrives the evening before, your route is already on your phone, and the only thing left is your feet on the trail.
Start My AdventureYou're enjoying your morning coffee, a little more relaxed than yesterday, but not quite there yet.
At some point you look up.
The mountains are right there, closer than you expected. Somewhere on one of those ridgelines, the morning goes quiet in a way it never does at street level.
Palm Springs Adventure Club handles everything between here and the trailhead: your gear is waiting at the door, your route is already on your phone, and the only thing on your mind when you step outside is the trail.
How it works
Everything handled.
Nothing to figure out.
Tell us about your group
Who's coming, how you like to move, what you're after, just a few quick questions that take about five minutes. Everything else follows from your answers.
Your trail is recommended for your group
Not from a list you scroll through, but from time on these specific trails: the junctions, the views, the right time of day, the terrain that fits your group.
Your gear arrives the evening before
Everything is packed the night before and waiting at your door. You won't need to think about it.
Your route is already on your phone
Your trail loads through RideWithGPS before you leave, with turn-by-turn navigation, waypoints, and terrain detail. It works without cell service, no signal required.
You have the trail to yourselves
That's the whole morning: no planning, no strangers on someone else's itinerary, just your group and a trail that was chosen for you. You're alone with the view, but not out of touch, since we still know when you're due back.
You leave the gear at the door
That's it, no returns, no drop-offs. When you're done, you're done.
Your gear kit
Everything you need.
Nothing you have to find.
The gear in your kit has a retail value of over $550.
Rental gear
Every kit includes a Gregory daypack, Leki trekking poles, two Hydro Flask 32oz bottles, and a first aid kit.
Your gear is packed the day before, delivered to your hotel or property the evening before your trail day, and picked up after.
Yours to keep
LMNT electrolytes, Rancho Meladuco Medjool dates, and Blue Lizard mineral sunscreen.
Everything in the kit was chosen so you don't have to think about it. You just get to be there.
On the trail
You'll know exactly
where you're going.
Before you leave, your trail is loaded to your phone, with turn-by-turn navigation, waypoints, terrain detail, and the moments worth slowing down for. It's all built for your specific route.
Works without cell service.
No bars required.
You'll know what's coming at every turn, so there are no wrong turns, just you experiencing the trail.
Some mornings change
the rest of the day.
The ones where you did something and came back different.
Palm Springs Adventure Club was built for people who are curious about the mountain but haven't had an easy way to explore it: solo travelers, couples, families, groups of up to twelve, anyone who wants a route recommended just for them, at their own pace, with the right gear.
There's no group to keep pace with, no guide's schedule but your own, just the trail, a route that already knows where it's going, and someone back here who knows when to expect you.
If you've looked up at the ridgeline and thought about it, this is for you.
Good to know
A few practical things.
Is this a guided experience?
No, and that's kind of the point. There's no group of strangers, no pace that isn't yours, no waiting around for the slowest person in the van. Your trail is recommended for your group specifically, the gear kit is packed and waiting, and your route lives on your phone with turn-by-turn navigation, waypoints, and terrain detail, working with or without cell service. Guided trail experiences, without the guide.
What does it cost?
Trail Guide is $100 per booking, plus $65 per person for gear. A solo adventure runs $165, a couple $230.
What if we need help out there?
You're not out of touch on the trail. Every adventure includes a check-out at the trailhead and a check-in when you're back, so we know when you've started and when you're due back, and if that time comes and goes, we're already looking for you, not waiting for you to ask. Your kit includes what you'd need in the moment, and your route guide includes exactly who to call if it's more than that.
When does the gear arrive?
Book at least three days before your trail day. That's enough time for everyone in your group to sign the waiver and for us to pack and deliver your gear. It arrives at your hotel front desk or property the evening before, and you can grab it that evening or on your way out in the morning.
Do you provide the gear?
Yes. Every booking includes a full gear kit, delivered to your hotel, rental, or residence the evening before your trail day, and picked up after. No need to bring your own.
How do you pick the trail for my group?
Your trail is recommended based on how your group moves and what you're looking for. There are trails here that are genuinely easy and genuinely extraordinary. We'll find the right one.
Can we trail run instead of hike?
Yes. Trails can be hiked or run. Let us know when you book, and we'll factor it into your trail recommendation.
What if I haven't booked my hotel yet?
Book your experience now. We'll collect your accommodation details separately once you have them. No rush.
What do I need to bring?
Hiking shoes or trail runners with good grip. Everything else is in your kit.
How many people can book together?
Up to twelve. Solo travelers, couples, families, friend groups. The trail is recommended for whoever is coming.
Can I bring kids?
They're always welcome. A legal guardian signs a waiver for them before gear delivery, so there's a real adult accountable for each child on the trail. Booking itself has to be done by someone eighteen or older.
The pool is going to feel different today.
Most people check out of Palm Springs having only ever seen it from below. You don't have to be one of them.
