“The Bump and Grind hiking trail has become an icon of our community’s dynamic outdoor and tourism economy. I would like to thank Governor Brown for signing this vital local measure that will allow our Coachella Valley families and tourists continued access to this beloved desert treasure for fitness and recreational opportunities, all while ensuring vital environmental protections for the populations of bighorn sheep who call it home,” exclaimed Assemblymember Garcia.

“This bill acknowledges the success we’ve had with our compromise agreement, which has been giving hikers access to what was once a closed section of trail,” said Tom Kirk, Executive Director of the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. “Without AB 661, the gate would be shut year-round. We’re grateful that our valley’s two Assembly members – Chad Mayes and Eduardo Garcia – have worked diligently to keep the top of the trail accessible.”
