Palm Springs Museum Trail Guide

You’ll see signs mentioning the Skyline trail at the start too. The Skyline Trail climbs up to where the Palm Springs Tram takes you, and is a very tough trail for experts.

The trailhead is easy to spot in the back of the art museum parking lot.

From this 3d map you can get an idea of the steepness. The trail basically goes straight up the spine of the mountain to the picnic bench vista point.

You’ll be going straight uphill for most of the hike, with a small dip down in the middle.

Look for white blazes like this on the rocks. If you see two blazes together, it usually indicates a sharp turn. There are also white arrows and Xs to help you on the way up the Museum Trail.

There’s a good amount of free street parking in the shade. You can also park in the garage next to this area, but there is a 4 hour limit and I’ve heard of break-ins, so I just park on the street without a problem.
