Araby Trail

Neighborhood: Southridge / Araby
Hours: No posted hours; hike in daylight
Checked Oct 2026; confirm with the venue before you go.

Araby Trail climbs from the Rimcrest/Southridge area into the Santa Rosa Mountains, with views across the Coachella Valley and toward the Bob Hope residence. The route is exposed and rocky, and the trailhead sits in a residential neighborhood, so hikers are asked to park only in the small designated area.

Highlights

• About 4.1 miles out-and-back; moderate, roughly 1,400 feet of gain
• Free; no admission fee
• Small dirt parking area near Rim Road and Southridge Drive
• Dogs are not allowed on Palm Springs mountain trails
• Little shade; summer heat can be dangerous

Good to know

Start at sunrise or in the cooler months, and carry more water than you think you need.
