The multi-talented American rock musician, singer, songwriter and producer was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2016. Felder’s live performance features tunes from his time with the Eagles off albums such as “On the Border” (1974), “One of These Nights” (1975), “Hotel California” (1976) and “The Long Run” (1979). Songs that Felder co-wrote and to which

audience members can likely look forward include “Victim of Love,” “Hotel California,” “The Disco Strangler” and “Those Shoes.” Nearly three decades after his first solo album, “Airborne,” his second solo album “Road to Forever” was released in 2012, with “Fall from the Grace of Love” as the lead single, featuring the vocal harmony of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Since 2005, Felder has been touring with his own band, the Don Felder Band.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Let’s Hike Places to stretch your legs in the high and low desert Cathedral City Cathedral Canyon Trail An approximate 1,000-foot elevation gain and a few steep inclines gives the trail a moderate rating with little shade. The 3.8-mile trail is used by mountain bikers and hikers. Park along the paved street near the end of Foothill Road.

Desert Hot Springs Mission Creek Stonehouse A historic structure tucked away in the lush wetlands of the Mission Creek Preserve. The stonehouse is a remnant of the area’s ranch days and features informational exhibits, as well as restrooms and picnic tables. Hikers with their four-legged friends enjoy the easy 3.2-mile round-rip hike, which follows a stream and passes by an enormous Freemont cottonwood tree. 50550 Mission Creek Road.

Joshua Tree Joshua Tree National Park A sweeping array of nature and fitness treks greets guests across the 1,250 square mile breadth of space, which makes Joshua Tree among the most popular hiking, camping and rock climbing attractions to locals and visitors. For leisurely hikes, check out the 3-mile 49 Palms Oasis hike or the 4-mile Lost Horse Mine and mountain hike. 6554 Park Blvd.

La Quinta Bear Creek Canyon Trail After cruising through a flat, sandy wash for the first 30 minutes, the gain hits all at once around the two-mile mark. But the steep trek through the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountain National Monument is well worth it, and is a prime spot for a picnic. Access trail near the intersection of Calle Tecate and Avenida Madero. Cove to Lake The first part of the 6.4-mile path is relatively flat, cutting through wideopen sandy terrain at the base of the Southern Santa Rosa Mountains before transitioning to more ups and downs. The path veers away from private property and heads towards Lake Cahuilla. Access the trailhead on Calle Tecate.

Morongo Valley Canyon Trail This 8.34-mile round trip hike descends gradually from the higher, cooler Mojave Desert down the canyon to the warmer Colorado Desert climate. This trail is a favorite of many local hikers and horseback riders. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, 11055 East Drive. Desert Willow Trail This moderate .75 mile dirt trail wanderd through open fields of fall-blooming alkali golden-bush, along the edge of hone mesquite thicket, then drops

into a desert wash habitat with desert willow, evergreen yerba santa and wild tarragon. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, 11055 East Drive, Morongo Valley.

Palm Desert Bump and Grind Loop A moderate 3 -mile hike scaling the Northern Santa Rosa Mountains, this is one of the most popular outings for hikers, runners and cyclists. The steep trail climbs 960 feet and intersects other routes along the way. Trailhead is behind the Desert Crossings shopping center. The Cross This local landmark is beloved by hikers, bikers and their leashed pups who make the 2.2-mile trek through the lower reaches of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The 689-foot climb feaures a giant lit-up cross with stunning vistas of the valley floor. Parking is available in the unpaved lot off Thrush Road.

Palm Springs Andreas Canyon A scenic foot trail leads through the canyon, passing groves of stately skirted palms, unusual rock formations and the perennial Andreas Creek. This tranquil setting is excellent for photography, bird-watching or a picnic at one of the tables along the trail. 38520 S. Palm Canyon Dr. indian-canyons.com Museum Trail Only a 1.7-mile hike, is a hard uphill hiking test with steep incline and

rocky ground. With breathtaking views of the city of Palm Springs unfolding just 10 minutes into the hike, the path levels off at a nice resting point with picnic tables. Trail begins at the back corner of the Palm Springs Art Museum parking lot. Do not park in the museum parking lot. North Lykken Trail The 2.8 mile moderate hike snakes approximately 1,000 feet up the canyon, where rocky outcrops, boulders and seasonal wildflowers paint a beautiful backdrop. Before returning via the dame route, stop and soak in the views! Trail head is located at the end of Ramon Road in Palm Springs. Park in the unpaved lot.

Thousand Palms Coachella Valley Preserve The 17,000 acre site is home to 25 miles of hiking trails and several palm oasis that stay full of water thanks to water seeping out of the San Andreas Fault. The McCallum Pond at the Thousand Palms Oasis is a fairly easy mile hike. 29200 Thousand Palms Canyon Road, Thousand Palms.
