Cruce de Parida

Cruce de Parida (Parida Crossing) is a short and easy connecting trail in the Coyote Hills that brings four area trails together and provides access to the Arroyo de la Parida. The tranquility and scenery of this desert area is relaxing and picturesque, with red earth and ancient sandstone cliffs climbing out of deep arroyos. Whether you want to explore, camp, hunt for rocks, or just get some fresh air and sunshine, planning a trip within the network of trails that Cruce de Parida connects is a great way to go. Flora and fauna abound in this rugged yet beautiful landscape. At certain times of day, you may see area wildlife, including gray fox, mule deer, coyote, bobcat, porcupine, raccoon, ground squirrel, opossum, jackrabbit, cottontail, and of course, always be on the lookout for rattlesnakes! Although camping is legal anywhere along the trail, no predisturbed campsites exist directly along this trail.
