Neighborhood hiking
The 640 or so acres across the street from the property are all held by the Mojave Desert Land Trust. MDLT property is accessible for hiking and trails are easily accessed by walking from the property. If you turn left out of the gate and walk back down La Contenta to Juarez there is a small trail/road off to the right (to the east) that leads to the hills. There is also a trail marker and sign just at the corner. You will see a few signs stating that its MDLT land and trails, just follow the signs. Lovely walk, easily accessed in minutes, desert wild life abounds…walk up the small rise and cross into a small valley and civilization disappears.

Minutes from Joshua Tree park
About 500 feet past the property is Covington Flat Rd., it provides access to an unpaved road portion of Joshua Tree National Park. The first few miles are MDLT property lined with Joshua Trees; a sign marks the “entrance” to the park. From there it’s a few miles to the Covington Flats picnic area, marked by a sign. If you continue on and head up the hill you reach Lower Covington Trail and eventually Eureka Peak.

The dirt roads in Covington Flats offer access to some of the park’s largest Joshua trees, junipers, and pinyon pines. From Covington Flats picnic area to Eureka Peak is 3.8 miles (6.2 km) one way. The dirt road is steep near the end, but the top offers views of Palm Springs, the surrounding mountains, and the Morongo Basin. There are a number of trails in the area and the Covington backcountry registration board is available for those wishing to backcountry camp.
