Palm Springs: Whitewater Preserve Dog Hike
Whitewater Preserve
Whitewater Preserve is 2,851 acres surrounded by the Bureau of Land Management’s San Gorgonio Wilderness, and includes the year-round Whitewater River. The Whitewater Trail Map is here. Much of the land was donated to the Bureau of Land Management by the Nature Conservatory – be sure to check here to learn about the current conditions. This hike is Paul and Nancy’s favorite dog hike. Please check out their blog post, 5 Great Dog-Friendly Hikes in Palm Springs/Desert Hot Springs, California.

As I type this, the temperature outside is 113 degrees, too hot for me and way too hot for a 4 legged friend wearing a fur coat.
Duffy goes out early in the morning, and in the evening and during the day onto the grass. To protect your dogs eyes, we recommend sunglasses, known as doggles, and protection for their feet.
Put the back of your hand on the ground to get a sense of how uncomfortable your dog may be. Dog Boots are an ideal solution of those early evening walks, when the air is cool, but the ground is still radiating heat. Your canine friend is much closer to the ground and you don’t want to forget that in a fur coat your little buddy is much warmer than you are.
Keep some healing creams on hand, in case you make a mistake and take your dog out too soon, I recommend Oatmeal Paw Butter.
