Big Morongo Canyon Preserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is a 31,000 acre wildlife preserve located in southern California, west of Joshua Tree National Park. Admission is free.
The United States Bureau of Land Management created the preserve in 1982. Its stated aims are to educate the public about its purpose in protecting vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems. Volunteers host educational opportunities including bird walks and group hikes. Public outreach programs and field trips are available.
The preserve has several short trails that are under a mile long, and one longer trail that is approximately five miles long. An information kiosk is located at the trail head just off of the parking lot. Facilities include a nature education center, bathroom, and a wheelchair-accessible trail of half a mile.
While the preserve is known amongst bird watchers, many other organisms make their home within the preserve.
