A trail you DON'T want to ride alone | Palm Springs, CA
Спорт
My friend Roger hit me up and told me about shuttling a trail in Palm Springs, California called the Palm Canyon Epic. Of course I said YES, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. After reading about it I knew It was going to be an adventure and a backpack type of ride. On these big rides its always a little scary getting stranded. I would suggest always riding with a friend. Bring enough water, snacks, tools, an extra tube, etc. This trail was an adventure for sure and I would highly recommend it for anyone in the Palm Springs area looking to ride mountain bikes. We paid $45 each for the shuttle and it was super simple to book (all online, Crazy Bear Bikes) I can't wait to find more trails like these. Be sure to comment below on where I should ride next. And thank you for watching!!!!! Hope to catch you all on the trails sometime!

Love PCE. Rode it twice on my Orbea. Yet to do it on my EMTB. I bring a pair of mini needle nose pliers for Cholla sticks. There are four ways to finish from the tractor. Three leave me at my back door for some BBQ. Ping us on the next run!!!
Great video Heather really enjoyed it it’s great to see you and your man are still getting out there riding together keep up the awesome videos you both
Thanks for the epic video Heather and Ben! Counting the days until next time!
The best thing about your videos is your laughing and enjoyment! I smile the whole time 😊
That look like fun! Awesome job the video was enjoyable to watch. Your laugh is contagious 😊

"Drop Roger!" "AHHH!" So good, Roger is great in your videos. And he's a great guy to talk to every year at Sedona. Love you videos Heather.
Look like a fun trail for us to hit next! Thank you for showing!
Enjoyed your video quite a bit! I live in Palm Springs and it was fun to experience thru you, a part of my hometown that I'll never see for myself.
I live in coachella valley, and did not know about this trail. I dont do bike mountain, but man this looks so exiting i want to try it. And you and your friends make it look so fun , great video
Epic SoCal riding! My daughter gets super excited every time you have a new video.
Do your abs hurt after a long ride of laughing so much - OMG!!! That's awesome! :)
That looked incredible! Thank you for the video!
Thanks to the crew from Palm Desert Bike n Brews and the Coachella Valley Mountain Bike Association for doing major improvements on the trail this year 🤙🏼.
This is so much fun to watch as all your videos are! Great job!

Just subscribed. Tagging Roger got me to watch. Love PCE for past 10 years. Will be in PS next weekend but not riding since its supposed to be 102*🥵 Great video!
Well somebody is excited to be on this ride! 🤣You're energy was the same at the finish as when you started!
We did that trail in March for the first time, loved it! You do need to go when it's cool out, can't imagine riding that in anything over 70.
Great video. Roger rocks! I met him last weekend at the Whiskey Off-road. Funny and great guy - he hooked my 9 year old son up with a Kenda shirt, which is now his favorite.

Good to see Roger!
We pedal up on E-mtbs from the bottom, Dunn Road up, cut across Pinyon trail to Palm Canyon Epic. Have been out exploring all the trails around there this year. 7 times so far this year. Doing different variations of the trail combinations. Great place when weather is bad in San Berdo and Riverside.
Fun group to ride with. Great weather and views. Chevere!
PCE and Hahn are my two favorite local trails and you did the combo. Glad you had a blast!

Sooooo much fun!
We did this ride about 6 weeks ago and the trail was in Epic conditions! However, we did an entire loop. We started in Cathedral city and rode all the way to the start of the actual trail. It was a grueling first 4 hours of about 20 miles and around 5k of climbing. Serves as a great training loop with a fun descend. We got lucky that the 3-mile sand area that everyone complains about was not very loose as it had rained the day before and also rained a little bit that same day. Nice video!
I do this ride every year when I go to Palm Springs. So fun❤
What a great adventure with some great people. Love Roger !!! Stoked you guys got some water crossings at the PCE. How rare is that ?! Love the Vlog mixed POV videos Heather. So good !!!
when I rode this trail in 2011, I was told the trail was called Pines to Palms. But either way great video and also a great trail that is always an adventure.
Really good video!!! lots of fun
Great ride & Video, the sandy section can be brutal. I have done it twice never seen water 🤷🏻♂🤷🏻♂
Nice heather your energy is the best 🤟
Great trip, great video! Much more fun crossing a desert mountain range than riding laps in a bike park. What I would do next, if I could borrow your Levo Expert for a day🤣 is the same trip reverse from end point to start point. A 26.6 mi climbing trip basically, testing the bike's low gears, motor, battery and my own fitness😅
Wowzers! So cool!!!
Great video. Thanks again
love those happy giggles
This ride is really what mtn biking is all about......getting out there with your best buds and having a blast. No power meters, no Strava, no heart rate monitor, no nothing except the bike and some food and water. And the more remote the location the better.
So many amazing places to ride. Need to get out there😀

Heather, it was so cool to see u at sea otter, thanks for the ice cream😂😂😂😂😂
The laughing puts a big smile on my face!!
Great video! No mountain biker, just a road bike guy! But 26 miles at 10 mph would take some time(and never go by yourself!)!
Nice. I gotta try this trail out.
I can't believe you have never ridden PCE! Happy you enjoyed it.
Be sure to buy the new exercise book: "How to get 6-pack abs by laughing for 26 miles." By renowned author and accidental mountain bike rider; Heather Munive. Enjoyed this one a lot. Awesome trail and fantastic edit, especially with the shots with the camera facing rearward!
so fun 😄😍
Yeahh Anna! Great job out there! Looks like a great time!

Westcoast trails are so cool!
I’ve ridden all kinds of trails, bike parks, local, road, DH. PCE is the only trail to almost do me in. Got heat exhaustion and nearly got life flighted. Just did it again recently and knocked 2 hours off my PR ha ha. This trail is no joke, bring at least 3 liters of water per person.
My wife and I used to visit Palm Springs regularly before I got into mountain bikes. I need to rent a bike the next time we’re out there!

Nice trails 👍
You should come and ride hulda crooks trails on Loma Linda California several single track trails you will love them. But maybe you already had been here.
Bring your crew out to Greer Ranch in Murrieta, Ca. I’ll show you all around.
Buen video amiga y muchos gritos eres dibertida y muy is te felicito ojala y te mire un dia en Santiago oaks
Looks like the 'Mt Everest' of mountain bike trails. Start EARLY cause this is an all dayer.
Saw a Propain bike in the vid. I think Roger's bike. I'd love to hear thoughts on that bike. Was it the Tyee?
Wow, what a trail! Are you clipped in or using flats? Just curious how other riders tackle unfamiliar trails.
Have you ever ridden the McKenzie River Trail in Oregon or any cool rides in Mt. Hood?
Sweet bike.
the guy who needed the first aid. was that an H series Orbea Rise? Maybe the full emtb Wild?
It’s roger!
I'll be going soon
You didn't really talk about the 3 miles of soft sand that everyone dreads, a lot of people say its the only reason that they wont do this trail a second time.. It's the reason I wont do it and I live close to this trail.

That 3 miles is no joke even with a warning that it’s grueling I didn’t anticipate just how much suck it would deliver.
passenger princess status woot woot!
When was this filmed? A lot more water than when i did it earlier this year.
roger!!!!!!
🤟🤟🤟
Soft,slurpy 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Aylab it you guys crossing the river ohhhh yeahgurrlll
Hiya Heather how long have you been riding?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you guys only did half of the trail. The real pce is a left at the tractor to the han trail. Thats another 2 hours. You went through one of the arts which is like 15 mins to the bottom. Still fun though
Looks like a fun crazy place to ride. How long did it take to ride the 26 miles?
