Mountain Sunrise Hike and Meditation in Palm Springs
Description
A sunrise meditation hike along the San Jacinto Mountains steps from Palm Springs to a resting spot with dramatic views of the Coachella Valley. You'll watch the sun rise over Indian Canyons and come together in guided meditation setting a grounded intention for the day. We'll greet each other at the South Lykken trailhead. As we hike the trail about a mile to our meditation spot, we'll listen to the natural beauty of Oswitz Canyon. I'll lead you through a grounding meditation to help you set your intention for the day, acknowledging your connection to the Earth and the universe. Guests will walk away with stunning photos. Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, you'll have a grounded connection to the environment, a clear mind, and an open heart. We will hear the sounds of the earth. We will see the colors of the planet. We will breathe the essence of being. We will see the universe in motion. The morning sun will expose our shadows. If the stars agree, we will see big horn sheep.

Really special - Timothy is a wonderful guide, the hike and meditation was a great way to celebrate my partners birthday. Highly recommend this experience
Timothy provided an excellent hike and meditation. It is obvious he is experienced in guiding lots of people with varied levels of fitness. The meeting point was easy to find so we could then go to the trailhead. Timothy also creates an intentional schedule to allow plenty of time to stop and take in the environment while also getting frequent water breaks. We arrived at the top right on time for sunrise. The guided meditation was also wonderful. On the way down we were treated to two Big Horn Sheep on the trail, they were magnificent. 10/10!
I always love it when guests call in the sheep! Thank you for starting your day with me!
I enjoyed the early morning hike surrounded by mountains siloutted in the twilight and the stars sparkling all around. Facing the morning sun as it crested the mountain, I felt like I was beginning my day with a special gift and a secret afforded only to those willing to rise early. The grounding meditation was purposeful, peaceful, and professional. Timothy patiently answered my questions about the area and geology. I recommend this activity.
I appreciate your wonderful, kind words. Thank you so much for starting my day with you.
This was the most wonderful experiences I’ve had in a long time. Timothy is an amazing guide and person. The hike to the top, the sunrise, the birds, the stillness and solitude. I came away from this experience with more peace and tranquility I’ve felt in a long time as primary caregiver to my husband, with MS. Whatever your situation is, don’t miss this one. Timothy, I’ll definitely be back to do this again next time I’m in Palm springs.
Such sweet works. Thank you for your kindness; it was a pleasure to start my morning with you.
Timothy is an accomplished “spiritual guide”. He has not only been practicing meditation since childhood but his own life experiences have enhanced to talk about “metaphors of life”. He was very supportive of need for physical and “mental” needs as I navigated the hike with some trepidation. You feel the beauty, warmth and comfort as well as the challenge of a sunrise hike with vigor and mental peace.
Thank you for your kind, beautiful words.
Timothy was an amazing guide, I really enjoyed his company and he made me feel so comfortable which was a big plus for me since this was my first time doing something alone. I would definitely recommend this sunrise hike.
It was so wonderful starting my day with you. Thank you!
Timothy is an excellent guide and lovey human! He was kind, informative, supportive, and accommodating. He made the experience magical!
Oh wow, you are so generous! Thank you so much!
Great hike for all ages and skill levels. Reasonably priced. Fun with friends. Timothy is personable and knowledgeable.
Thank you so much for starting your day with me. So grateful to share this experience with you. Thank you for your kind words.
Must do! This was such a beautiful way to start the day. Timothy ensured we were safe to take the trek and then led us up with paused to catch our breath and to share what we were seeing or some history/context. The meditation was very accessible to novices and amazing way to experience the site. What a great way to see a different view of the valley!
I'm so glad you gleaned so much for your experience. Thank you for your kind words.
great experience with an informative and engaging guide. Thanks, Timothy! We will be back to hike the rest of the trail.
Tanka you so much for your kind words, Laura. I am so grateful you're inspired to complete the trail!
