Picked the perfect day to climb this huge sand hill north of Palm Springs. This day was about 75 degrees and cloudy in the desert. Doesn't get much better than that. I parked near the SW corner of the intersection of Varner Rd and Date Palm Drive in Cathedral City. I accessed the dirt road that climbs to the NE of the intersection. From there I used my judgement in finding the most direct route to the towers on top. Eventually I found the crumbling old road that may still serve the summit (accessible only by off-road vehicles). Buildings and media towers stand on the summit. I did find the benchmark, but only managed to take one blurry photo of it. There are good views toward Palm Springs, but everything seems so far away from the top. I returned to civilization from there and concluded my weekend.
