Big Beautiful Trout @ Whitewater Preserve 11-01-09

The old Whitewater Trout Farm has become the Whitewater Preserve.  It is a beautiful park north of the I-10 from the Whitewater Exit.  From Palm Springs the ride is mostly an uphill grade and often with a headwind until one gets onto the Whitewater Road (which is actually part of the Pacific Crest Trail).  A wonderful ride especially when the wind is not blowing.  It's a fast ride back to Palm Springs with great views in all directions.

Right time of year, right time of day, right temperature and creatures that can create some excitement may join you on the road.
