The Never Ending loop is situated in the Mecca Hills and is a series of narrow canyons joined at the top by a ridge. We had 11 people and 5 dogs take this 3.6 mile hike with an elevation gain of 500 feet. The trail through the canyon was free of all the sand and gravel from September rains. This made it very easy hiking.
The ridge view usually provides a good look of the Salton Sea but today it was shrouded in smog.

| More flowers out now even though they haven't lost all the dead ones. |

| Hikers enjoying walking in the shade. There wasn't much shade by the end of the hike. |
 |
| The bees were enjoying the flowers too! |

 |
| Hiking is thirsty work. |
 |
| Almost to the top and the smog can be seen in the distance. |
 |
| Sorry folks but this is the trail down... |
 |
| Made it down with no incidents. |
 |
| Lucy the toy poodle was the smallest dog on the hike and she really enjoyed it. |
 |
| Our group were spread out over the lower wash area taking pictures and enjoying the views. |
