Ladder Canyon

Ladder Canyon is a hike that everyone who comes to the Coachella Valley has to do at least once. It is in the Mecca Hills Wilderness area and is doable by anyone who can walk and climb up and down a ladder, or seven. Getting there is as easy as taking 1-10 East to the Hwy 86 Expressway, South. Turn left on Avenue 66 and follow it just over six miles to Painted Canyon Road.
