Then, it’s up the 74 to the visitor’s center, a steady 4 mile climb. There’s an option to only go half way, if you’re not ready for a longer hill. Then, we head back down the hill by The Living Desert and around Palm Desert to pit 2 at Starbucks at Country Club & Monterey. Then, back home down Dinah Shore & Dumuth Park for a nice half century (54 miles).
